Hi everyone,
I’m Maryam Dalir, an Iranian novelist with a strong readership and an expanding international presence. I write in the genres of thriller, mystery, and romantic drama — stories driven by complex female leads, layered psychology, and cinematic tension.
My English-language novel “Secrets of Athena” blends mystery, psychological suspense, and slow-burn romance, set against the atmospheric backdrop of northern Iran. The story has been described by readers as highly visual and emotionally gripping — the kind of narrative that naturally lends itself to film or series adaptation.
My published works include:
• Secrets of Athena (Thriller–Mystery–Romance)
• A Lovable Stranger
• The Season of Silence
• The Mysterious Mind
• Journalist
• One Breath Away
• Being As a Woman (English edition available internationally)
I’m currently focusing on bringing my stories to global audiences and exploring opportunities for screen adaptation.
I’m here to connect with:
• Producers
• Screenwriters
• Story executives
• Literary managers
• Creative collaborators seeking strong, character-driven narratives with international flavor
If you're interested, I’d be happy to share a logline, synopsis, or full manuscript.
Looking forward to connecting with this talented community.
— Maryam Dalir
