Elisabetta Cotrone's personal portfolio

I was born on August 7, 1991 and raised in the province of Monza and Brianza, Cesano Maderno.

I attended a three-year professional school which trained me as a commercial operator/sales employee. I immediately embarked on a working career after obtaining the three-year certificate.

In my life I have changed several jobs, I have adapted, I have gained experience and learned multiple roles.

But one passion has always remained unchanged; the one for writing.

Although always cultivated in secret, not out of shame or fear of judgement, but more out of protection, almost out of fear of "hurting" her, of betraying her.

I write in dark moments, or those of great joy.

I write out of love, out of pain, to let what I have inside flow and I don't know how to tame it in any other way.

I haven't attended schools or courses related to writing and therefore I make many, many mistakes, I'm aware of it, but I don't care.

I hear everything I have to "say", like a vibration coming out of my fingers over the keypad of a telephone, the tool I use.

I like to reread myself, because every time what I read takes on a broader and richer meaning, like a teaching.

In life I am an entrepreneur, I work in the construction field, together with my future husband Ammar, a purely male environment which has nothing in common with writing, but which I still like and stimulates me.

I write for myself, before others, but I hope that my words reach straight to the heart of those who read me, which is why I use simple and direct words, to ensure that even a child understands me.
