About Elisa Guimarães

Currently a features writer at Collider, Elisa Guimarães is an arts and entertainment journalist and a critic with over a decade of experience. Passionate about movies and TV shows as a whole, she started her career when she was still in college, writing for a local newspaper after a brief stint in film school. However, her love for all things media-related can be dated back to her childhood, as she was raised in a family of librarians and cinephiles. She adores coming of age stories, true crime, teen dramas, science fiction, horror, and some other things as well. Elisa is also a published author of short stories in Portuguese, as well as a translator and a master in linguistics. As of 2023, she's in the process of working towards her PhD.

Industry Experience

Elisa's writing is mostly in Portuguese. On-line, her work can be found at deliriumnerd.com.

Favorite Media

Though ever-changing, her list of favorites includes Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Virgin Suicides, the original Star Wars trilogy, Doctor Who, and PEN15.
