GIRLS WHO WRITE
O
Once there was a girl who loved scribbling in her notebook. She was a dreamer, a mind-wanderer, an escapist, a visionary, a fantasy world creator, a lost Brönte sister, and honestly, maybe a bit of a weirdo ◡̈ She loved falling in love (again and again), getting lost in the streets, noticing what others didn’t see – and then putting it into words. Her happiest place was by the window at a small cafe with her latte and a journal. She wrote about what she felt, whom she missed, what she feared, and what she hoped for. And through these words, she was finding out who she really was. Sometimes she felt a bit lonely…
until she found her tribe.
until she found her tribe.
Hey girl, is it you?

Hey there. I’m Marusha, founder of Girls Who Write.
And yes, I’m that kind of a girl, too!
Words have been my job all my life, but also my true passion. For years I’ve been working as a lifestyle & travel editor for Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, and Aeroflot magazines, then switched to teaching storytelling and non-fiction writing. In 2022 I published my first book Not Just A Mom, my own manifesto and dedication to all creative women out there, who have mastered the art of juggling since becoming parents. After that, I realized how empowering a female community can be and how much we girls need our own tribe. This is when the idea of GWW was born.
I have also combined the wanderlust running through my veins, my experience as a travel editor, and my passion for writing to launch GIRLS WHO WRITE retreats. If you’re a words-lover like me, these transformational, creativity-boosting adventures are what you’ve been looking for!
I created Girls Who Write community to support and include in the creative circle all the women who love words. It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur novelist, seasoned journalist, screenplay writer, journaling fan, or a pure beginner in writing.

And as they say — when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Marusha became mine. My journaling guide. My mind was wandering a lot and anxiously, looking for one path vs another (corporate vs self employed; present mother va business woman; caring daughter vs devoted wife, etc etc). I trusted Masha and let myself believe that writing it down might help. I gave myself time and rights to explore this creativity and “therapeutic” writing. Many of my questions got answers, new connections were born, anxious inner voice turned out into a balanced (though sometimes still hesitant:) inner guide. I feel fear, but I do it anyway, writing scenario of the movie of my life, accepting all the pieces of puzzle (and not one vs another). Thank you Marusha for finding the Words, for books suggestions, for becoming That Very Guide that Student was looking for.

The retreat with Marusha was an experience of a lifetime. There is just something about her that makes you want to let go and be your true self. Without the stains of everyday life, it is especially easy. Surrounded by all the beauty, it flows and Marusha is there to guide you and put it into words. Not only have a rediscovered my creative side, I reconnected with my inner adventurer. I laughed, I cried, I ate delicious food and marvelled at the beauty around me and inside. The best adventure I have ever had. Wherever Masha has her next retreat — I am definitely there.

This was my first journaling workshop and I didn’t know what to expect. Marusha guided us and created a safe environment to express our thoughts through writing and offered the opportunity to share with the others if we wanted to. The other people were so open to the experience and it was really therapeutic. After the retreat, I felt so much lighter and slept well. Even a week later, I am feeling much more peaceful and relaxed. This reterat has a lasting effect. I can’t wait to attend another!
I had an amazing, unforgettable experience in journaling retreat with Marusha. I am full of emotions and positivity and feel like many things have shifted for the better in my mind. Marusha is absolutely a must for someone who wants to start writing or develop their writing. She is a sparkling star in the universe and I am glad to find her. Feeling grateful!

My writing process used to feel like rowing alone in a kayak in the open sea. Now that I’ve met other girls who write it feels like I’ve discovered a whole island of like-minded people!

I'm grateful for finding joy in writing again. I did Marusha’s Naked Words online course and it led me on a journey of self-discovering. It made me revisit places I had forgotten about and explore new ones. But mostly it gave me a home within myself. Writing gives me so much joy. It's a filtration process for my busy mind. A pause. A moment to breathe. An instant road to feel at home. I now remember why I love writing. And It was beautiful to have a place to share my writing. To be seen. To let someone, for the first time in my life (except in school), read whatever I was writing. So intimate and liberating.
