About the author
Maria Cassano (represented by Emma Fulenwider at WordServe Literary) is an award-winning writer, editor, and journalist whose work has appeared in HuffPost, NBC, Bustle, CNN, Food & Wine, USA Today, The Daily Beast, Allure, and Elite Daily, among dozens of other publications.
She's specialized in e-commerce writing since 2016, but when she was diagnosed with a dissociative disorder at 28, Maria sought to understand the correlation between trauma and the abandonment of self.
After healing from depersonalization-derealization disorder using EMDR therapy, she's back in her body and writing about overcoming dissociation, especially as it relates to women. Her debut memoir, NUMB, PARTY OF ONE, will be published in February 2027.
