Hi! I'm Marina Deller, an Adelaide-based writer, academic, creative, and critic. I have a PhD in Creative Writing (Life Writing) from Flinders University where I teach and research. I am currently the 2024 Writer in Residence at The Mill in partnership with CityMag. I'm also an active member of the Life Narrative Lab.

​

I'm passionate about building community and sharing arts-based knowledges.

 

I write creative non-fiction, essays, profiles, short stories, poetry, and hybrid works incorporating materials, art, and photography. I research grief and trauma narratives, object-based writing, and creative higher education pedagogies.
