Thank you for the feature Daily Scanner:


Sofia Nova is a shining example of perseverance and passion in the literary world. Known for her contributions to the fiction fantasy genre, Sofia’s journey as an author has been marked by early ambition, initial setbacks, and a triumphant return to writing.

Sofia Nova began her writing career at the tender age of eleven. Fueled by a vivid imagination and a love for storytelling, she self-published her first series of books titled Maradonia. Despite her youth and the ambitious scope of her work, the Maradonia series did not achieve the commercial success Sofia had envisioned. This early experience with failure could have discouraged many, but for Sofia, it became a turning point.

Determined to find her path, Sofia explored other avenues, including real estate and music creation. During this period, her father was a pillar of support. He not only encouraged her to continue writing but also funded an independent film adaptation of her series.

In 2019, after years of personal and professional growth, Sofia made a remarkable return to the literary scene with her middle-grade fiction fantasy novel, The Secret of Moon Lake. This work marked a significant evolution in her storytelling, showcasing her matured voice and renewed passion.

Buoyed by this success, Sofia decided to revisit her original Maradonia story. She rewrote and refined the manuscript, resulting in Maradonia and the Guardians of the Portal. This revitalized work captured the attention of Mascot Books, leading to a publishing deal that brought her stories to a wider audience. Expected to hit the market with a bang in August, Maradonia and the Guardians of the Portal promises to be a thrilling adventure. After two siblings, Maya and Joey, are shipwrecked off the coast of Maradonia, they are thrust into a treacherous journey involving fierce warrior mermaids. The siblings soon realize their only way home is through a teleportation portal that doesn’t work. They join the mermaids to find a way to reawaken the portal before it falls into the wrong hands. Their journey becomes even more perilous when a United States military expedition lands on the shores of Maradonia, searching for the same portal. To make matters worse, the Dark Realm declares war on the mermaids. Maya and Joey find themselves in the ultimate battle for control of the universe.

Sofia Nova’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of never giving up on one’s dreams. Her story inspires countless aspiring writers to push through their own setbacks and continue pursuing their passions. Today, Sofia enjoys traveling, swimming, and creating music. She also dedicates her time to mentoring other writers, sharing her experiences, and encouraging them to remain positive and determined.

Sofia Nova’s tale of perseverance and triumph serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding us all that failure is not the end, but rather a stepping stone to greater success. Learn more at www.sofianovaauthor.com.
