About
An author of Lonely Planet guides for almost a decade, I started writing fiction in 2021 after winning the European EACWP Flash Fiction competition with The Caretaker, a 100-word horror story.
Since then, I've been published in the Portuguese horror anthologies Sangue Novo (2021) and Sangue (2022). In March 2022, I co-founded Fábrica do Terror, a website dedicated to Portuguese horror, where I act as editor-in-chief. In September 2023, I wrote an entry on Portuguese Horror Female Authors for Enciclopédia do Terror Português. Dead Letters: Episodes of Epistolary Horror (2023) marked my debut in a foreign horror anthology.
What clients say about my work
Sandra did an excellent job capturing the story behind the BuildUpDevs community. Her work helped convey the essence of what the community stands for and is focused on. Readers and newcomers to the community will now have a better understanding of what they are looking to be a part of.
Sandra always goes the extra mile to deliver engaging, personable content. Her work is always peppered with beautiful images, insightful interviews, quirky angles and useful information. A pleasure to work with, she always delivers on time and in good humour and is adept at reworking angles and context efficiently and successfully.
Sandra is an excellent writer who can follow a client's briefing and always sticks to the deadlines. She has been a long-term contributor for the trivago magazine Portugal, where I've supervised her work. Since the beginning, she has understood the client's editing style and was able to match her writing to the requirements in every project, while keeping the content engaging. We worked together on multiple projects and both me, as an editor, and the client has always been happy with the outcome. She's an expert in her field, handles feedback well and is quick to respond. I would highly recommend working with her.
It's been such a pleasure working with Sandra on unique content for Devour Tours. We look to work with talented writers who know their subject matter inside and out, and whose values align with our own. Sandra's passion for sustainable tourism, her knowledge of Lisbon and Portugal, and her love of local culture made her the perfect fit. We hope to continue working with Sandra on future projects.
Sandra Henriques visited MiratecArts Galeria Costa and the Azores Fringe Festival this past season [2017]. We thoroughly enjoyed her writing about the experiences in Pico Island and it was lovely to see it in various publications like Lonely Planet. Would be a pleasure to welcome her back to future adventures.
Sandra highlighted the best of Maia with her images and her words and was able to convey exactly what you feel here! It was, without a doubt, two emotion-filled days with a lot to share. Thank you for smiling with us!
