Mara D.

Hi there, I am Mara, a fourteen-year-old writer, and I am currently writing my debut novel, The Queen of Hearts. I started writing it in December 2025, finished it in March, and right now I've sent my third draft to beta-readers. You can follow my journey here, and you can also find me on Instagram at @book_aesthetic_writer.

The Queen of Hearts is a fantasy novel about a teenager who gets trapped in a story with a writer, a scientist, and an artist. Their only way to escape the story is to get to the Queen of Hearts, who is the only one able to help.

If you loved Shatter Me, Hunger Games, Heartless, Once upon a Broken Heart, and The Cruel Prince, you'll definitely love my book.

~XO, Mara
