Hello! I’m Maria.
A happy writer
I’m Maria Baias, and I’m a scientist turned Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer, with my (upcoming) novels having less focus on hard science and more on adventure, wonder, and imagination.
After years in Academia, I traded scientific facts for imagination and followed my lifelong love of space and aliens straight into writing a young adult space adventure series. Alongside that, my cheerful nature combined with my passion for personal growth sparked the Happy Writer Hub—a cozy corner where writers rediscover joy, motivation, and play on their creative journey, even on tough days. Dear Happy Writer, I’m here to cheer for you on your writing journey.
Interested in my YA ALIEN SCI-Fi adventure series?
