Marco Rinaldi

I'm a Scottish-Italian author based in Edinburgh who writes historical fiction and thrillers. I am the winner of Bloody Scotland's 2025 Pitch Perfect competition after also being a finalist in the 2023 competition.
​
I am also the co-host of a few popular podcasts! Alongside Narrative Damage, I host Page One - The Writer’s Podcast, where I interview writers of all kinds about their process, and Rigore! The Italian Football Podcast, where I yammer on about Italian football with my cousin for 20 minutes or so each week.

Aside from writing, my main passion is TTRPGs, having been sucked back into them after a hiatus of about 20 years. There is nothing I love more than sitting round a table with friends, rolling some dice, and seeing what story we can all tell. My GM goals are always simple: Make sure everyone has fun and help them tell a great story.
