Meet Marisha Kazaryan

Marisha Kazaryan

I was a storyteller for as long as I can remember myself. Inventing stories, characters, and worlds was something that came naturally. After completing my degree in English language and literature I worked as a translator and interpreter for quite some time, but to nobody’s surprise one day I turned my career in a different direction and became a writer. Things that make my day a win (besides a good story, of course): animals, good coffee, good music, good films, and the scent of the sea in the sunshine.

Areas of Expertise

Writing Approach

A mantra I live by is “Everything is a story, you’re here to make its voice heard”. This is how I approach every writing assignment. Writing for sports and iGaming, I also think of finding the balance that will make my articles valuable for newbies and experts alike.

How Do You Stay Up to Date?

There are a lot of resources online that help you stay on top of things: from the official websites of horse racing and football league authorities to the largest sports news providers. In addition to that, it always pays off to follow credible forums and communities, especially when it comes to iGaming.

Education & Languages

  • I hold a Master’s degree in English language and literature, as well as certificates in filmmaking and music video making.
  • I speak fluent English, Russian, Georgian, Armenian, and Hindi, decent German, and currently study Korean and Italian.
