Elisa

 

 

 

Hello! My name is Elisa and I live in Antwerp, Belgium.

I have enjoyed the city life since moving here in 2020, returning a few years after I studied here for my BA back in 2018. During my studies I briefly lived in Norway for an Erasmus study exchange semester.

I enjoy listening to music and social gatherings with friends. I bring my Kindle with me to most outings and I have a never-ending TBR that I try to cut down as much as I can.

Aside from writing I spend my time on neighbourhood walks with my son and annoying my man with trivia about the latest books I've read or TV-series I've watched.

 

 

 

My writing

I did not come to writing through formal literary training, but through a lifelong love of stories and the communities built around them. For years, I explored storytelling through fan fiction and online creative spaces, learning how to craft characters, build worlds, and connect with readers through shared imagination.

During the pandemic I wrote a daily fanfic to boost morale. I also set up a community on Discord to connect with other viewers, something I hope to establish for my own reader audience one day.

Now, I am bringing that experience into original fiction. As a debut author, I approach storytelling with both enthusiasm and humility, drawing on the lessons learned from years of creative writing and reader engagement.

Every story I write is driven by emotion, curiosity and a desire to create meaningful experiences for readers. My writing represents both where I have come from and where I hope to go as an author.

Trivia

As an author I love the written word, but I also have a thing for the spoken word. I can proudly call myself a polyglot, speaking 8 languages (in different degrees of fluency); Dutch, English, French, Spanish, German, Norwegian, Italian and Albanian.

I am a strong advocate for the balance between a healthy mind and healthy body, prioritising my physical health with frequent visits to the gym and paying my therapist to make sure I don't get stuck in my own head too often.

I have watched hundreds of tv-shows and friends know me as a walking encyclopedia on television series ("I know that actor" - "Yes they were in season two of Game of Thrones").

People around me describe me by the following fictional characters:

  • Jo March from 'Little Women'
  • Elizabeth Bennet from 'Pride and Prejudice'
  • Lucy Chen from The Rookie
  • Noora Saetre from Skam

"Long before she called herself an author, she was already a storyteller. I've watched her spend countless hours bringing characters to life, refining ideas, and pouring her heart into every page. What makes her writing special isn't just her imagination—it's her ability to make readers care. This book is the result of years of passion, dedication, and a love for stories that never stopped growing."
