Chloe Marika Glass, writing as Marika Midnight, (she/her) is a debut author, rare disease fighter, published poet, and 2025 Pushcart Prize nominee. Born and raised in Colorado, with Greek roots and a childhood shaped by faith. Chloe holds a degree in Sociology, a minor in Writing, and a certificate in Journalism.
When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found watercoloring or painting, often with French fries and far too much salt nearby. She is the founder of the Girlfriends x Grace podcast, where she strives to influence others through honesty, faith, resilience, and hope. She published her first poetry volume, Born to Overlove, in 2023 and her second, Broken Body, in 2026. Chloe continues to write from the confines of her bed due to chronic illness but has faith that one day she’ll break out of her cocoon and become a best-selling author.
At the core of everything she does is the belief that words matter.
