Maria's Corner

Maria Acosta Ramirez

Hi, I'm Maria, founder of MAR Literary Services. I'm a professional Alpha Reader and Accountability & Mindset coach for Writers. I specialize in romance, MM romance, paranormal romance, romantasy, urban fantasy, and science fiction. I created this corner of the internet because I got tired of seeing promising books fall short—not because authors lacked talent, but because they didn't get the guidance they needed. Whether you're stuck in the messy middle, battling perfectionism, or just need someone to help you finally type "The End," I'm here to bridge the gap between the story you've written and the story your readers can't put down. Here's how I can help you: 📚 Free Resources: Subscribe below for craft tips, behind-the-scenes looks at my alpha/beta reading process, and Hard Truths from my blog about what really stops writers from finishing. Plus, get instant access to The Ultimate Beta & Alpha Reader Playbook Bundle, three valuable resources to help you get the most from your betas or alpha readers. 🎯 The Writer's Project: My signature mindset and accountability coaching program with 4 tracks (from 4 to 24 weeks) designed to help you finish your draft and step fully into your identity as a writer. Launching December 2025. 📖 Alpha Reading: Get developmental feedback on your manuscript while it's still in progress—catch story problems early, before they become major rewrites. Newsletter subscribers get VIP treatment: First access to new digital products (free for 1 week before they go on sale); Priority booking when coaching spots open; Exclusive launch pricing and early bird discounts. My goal is simple: help you tap into your potential and become the bridge between the story you've written and the story your readers can't put down. Ready to get started? Subscribe below.

Happy Monday, Reader, It's been almost a month since you've heard from me—my last email went out December 15th, and here we are on January 12th. I hope your holidays were relaxing, but let's be honest, they were probably exhausting. For me though, I actually managed to stop working on the business side of things. I took on two personal projects instead, and one of them is almost finished (I think). But more than catching you up on my life, I want to welcome you to a new and improved Maria's...
