Eisa Gouredou

Eisa Gouredou is a writer and public relations professional based in Silver Spring, Maryland. Her work explores identity, womanhood, and the complex spaces in between the quiet moments, the messy questions, and the ongoing search for belonging.

She studied politics and literature at the City College of New York and earned a Master’s in Public Policy from Sciences Po Paris. With a background in strategic communications and public affairs, she brings a sharp, thoughtful lens to contemporary issues both on the page and in her professional work. She is a member of the Maryland Writers' Association.

Her debut novel, In the Shadow of Dreams, is a literary journey between Miami and Paris. A sweeping story of migration, ambition, and the invisible threads that tie us to the people and places we carry within us. At its heart, it’s also about the dreams we inherit, chase, and sometimes outgrow. With lush prose and emotional depth, Gouredou establishes herself as a powerful new voice in contemporary fiction.
