A Casa do Tempo

Encontro de escrita & sabores

About Monica Menezes - your facilitator!

I was born in Cascais in 1978, on the coldest day of the year. Is this why I always have cold feet? I like to write in silence and spend hours observing "nothing" to find inspiration. I really enjoy cooking. And eating!


I graduated in Social Communication from the Catholic University of Portugal. I worked as a journalist for 20 years, as a trainer and mentor in Creative Writing and Storytelling, and published six books, plus two institutional works and several others as a ghostwriter. 

I am a guest assistant professor in the Storytelling course (postgraduate program "Communication and Well-being" at the Nova University of Lisbon). 

I am internationally certified in Storytelling by McSill Studio and a certified trainer (CCP F654273/2017).
