Natalie Martinaitis hails from Columbia, MD. Her literary interest in the planet Mars began when her best friend showed her a Pinterest post about humankind feeling isolated, leading her to imagine an experimental society called PSO that compares Earth children to their peers raised on the Red Planet. She wrote several novels as a young teen, including the Unity Trilogy, Vaxxed, A Dream Come True, and Faith Led Me to You. In her writing, Natalie seeks to portray characters who feel alone but come to realize there is someone who understands them, and striving to help those who are lonely is what drives her to the page. Natalie is currently a Junior at Washington College, where she is the Editor-in-Chief of the Washington College Review. In addition to writing, Natalie also enjoys scrapbooking her travel adventures, reading an abundance of dystopian novels, and spending time with her family, especially her dog, Mischka.
