Author Details

Gene Marquez is a trained English Teacher with a penchant for Literature and the Arts. She has been dreaming of becoming a writer since she was 8 years old but was never given the opportunity until she rebelliously sought it in 2020. In true Gemini duality, she struggles to juggle her writing ion via side hustles, and her bread and butter of being a young School . As if Gene isn't reluctantly ambitious enough, she has put up a coffee shop - Brewed Espressions - that's main purpose was unlimited access to coffee-making facilities which cost way less than a daily trip to Starbucks. Gene also has six Shih Tzus - Simba, Mulan, Pressy, Macky, Pepper, and Morgan. 

Industry Focus

Since August 2022, Gene has been a Core Features Writer for ScreenRant, mainly covering shows and films she has devoured on streaming services. Fond of the fantasy genre, Gene gravitates toward Game of Thrones, Shadow and Bone, The Mortal Instruments, and basically any YA fantasy novel turned into a show or film.  Gene also takes a liking to sitcoms, particularly How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.
