ELISABETH MARANHÃO was born in 1990 and started to write when she was about 10 years old, after her parents got divorced.

She finished high school in 2008 and took a sabbatical to dedicate herself solely to writing. She then started college in 2012 to earn her BA in Social Communications.

Under the pseudonym Elisa Wz, she began working on her first novel called Rapunzel Carpe Diem, in which a family tries to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps after the father leaves home and the mother falls ill. The oldest daughter then vows not to cut her hair until her mother gets better.

She enjoys writing about family drama and romantic situations between men and women.
