Marilyn Anne Campbell is a Canadian writer and semi-professional nature nerd who lives with her human and non-human family near the shores of Lake Ontario. She has a Humane Education Practitioner Certificate from the University of Denver's Institute for Human-Animal Connection, and nature and animals often feature prominently in her writing. Marilyn's short stage plays have been performed in Halifax, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Chicago, New York, Iowa, South Dakota, and Leeds, England. Her Remembrance Day themed script "Failing Hands" was one of three winners of the inaugural National TYA Playwriting Competition held by Storybook Theatre in Calgary (2016). She has been awarded playwriting grants from the Ontario Arts Council's Recommender Grants for Theatre Creators program and from the Toronto Arts Council. Along with writing for the stage, Marilyn writes short fiction, silly poetry, and comics. She wrote animal-themed stories for two books published by TO Comix Press: "The Goosefighter" for the 2018 anthology 'Osgoode As Gold' and "The Night Shift" for 'The City We Chose' (2024). Two of her poems for children were included in the Emma Press (UK) anthology 'Dragons of the Prime: Poems About Dinosaurs.'
