My name is Tade Maria, a 26-year-old passionate storyteller and hairstylist with a creative soul that finds beauty both in strands of hair and words on paper. I’ve been writing for about four months, and in that short time, storytelling has become more than just a passion — it’s my voice, my dream, and my path to something greater.
I’m also an aspirant of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akoko, working hard to pursue my education. Writing isn’t just an art for me — it’s a chance to change my life, pay my tuition, and inspire others through my stories.
I’ve written for PocketFM, but the story I’m about to apply for is exclusively for Starry Writing. I deeply admire how your platform transforms talented writers into recognized authors, and I would be honored to grow under Starry Writing’s wings.
If given this opportunity, I promise to pour my heart, passion, and dedication into every chapter I write. My goal is to create stories that captivate readers — the kind that make them feel every heartbeat, every tear, and every spark of love in the pages.
Thank you for considering me. I’m ready to give my all and shine through Starry Writing.
Warm regards,
Tade Maria

She lived in darkness. He lived without love—and together, their worlds would collide.
Ava Rayne has spent her life navigating a world she cannot see, relying on her ears, her instincts, and the quiet resilience that has kept her alive. Abandoned and underestimated, she never imagined her voice could touch someone like Adrian Black—the ruthless billionaire who built his empire from tragedy and control.
When a near-fatal accident intertwines their lives, Adrian becomes her unexpected savior. What begins as a promise to restore her sight quickly transforms into a dangerous, consuming love—one that threatens to unravel both their worlds.
Yet Adrian carries a secret—a darkness tied to the accident that stole her sight, a truth that could destroy everything they are building. As Ava slowly senses the weight of his guilt, the boundaries between trust and betrayal blur, and their fragile bond teeters on the edge.
Sometimes, the heart perceives truths the eyes are too blind to see.
He gave her light. She gave him peace. And together, they discover that love doesn’t always need sight—it needs courage, forgiveness, and the bravery to face the shadows within and around them.
