Hi! My name is Marielle Songy, and I'm a writer.

 

Born and raised in New Orleans, I've always been passionate about the written word. As a freelance journalist, I enjoy writing about the food, people, and culture of the city where I was raised. 

​

My first book, The Absinthe Frappé, was published by LSU Press in 2023. I'm currently working on my second book, Coffee Culture New Orleans, which will be published by LSU Press next year. 

​

I've written personal interest pieces for local and national web and print publications. I've also worked with various businesses to produce valuable content for their brand.

​

I enjoy research and learning. When I have a conversation with someone about something they're passionate about, I learn something new. Nothing compares to meeting a chef pumped about a signature dish, a bartender who spun their passion for chemistry into a career, or someone who wants to make a difference in the world by helping others. I love sharing those stories with readers; those are the human stories that unite us.​

​

In addition to working as a journalist, I write poetry and creative stories. 

​

If you have a story that you'd like me to cover, or if you would like to hire me for other writing work, please email me at mlsongy@gmail.com

Let's tell your story.
