Who is Romantic Comedy Author Elizabeth (Liz) Manriquez?
Elizabeth is a whimsical rom-com author who loves writing lighthearted stories...usually with a side of crime. She's been dreaming of becoming an author since she was twelve, inspired by late nights spent reading under the covers and characters like Jo from Little Women.
After earning her master's degree in English in 2025, Elizabeth finally returned to that childhood dream and began writing the kind of stories she loves most: fluffy, funny, and full of heart.
When she's not writing, you'll likely find her adventuring with her sisters, getting lost in a good book, crafting something messy, or chatting with readers on her bookstagram @liz_write_now
Author’s Vision
My goal is to write whimsical, cozy rom-coms that bring a little joy into an often chaotic world. I believe that everyone deserves a happy ending and through my stories I hope to create lighthearted, character-driven romances filled with humor, heart, and just a hint of mischief. My goal is simple: to give readers a place to escape for a while...where love wins, hope lingers, and happiness is ALWAYS within reach.
Stories That Make You Feel Seen
Stories have always been the place where I've found pieces of myself, and that's what I hope to create for my readers. I love writing characters who are a little messy, a little hopeful, and just trying to figure life out...because, aren't we all?
If you find yourself laughing, nodding along, or thinking "okay, yes...that's exactly how that feels," then I've done my job. My stories are for the dreamers, the romantics, and anyone who still believes that the right moment (and the right person) can change everything.
