About Me:
Born in 1966, Isabel Coutinho began working as a journalist in 1991, after graduating in Philosophy at the o’Porto University. She was one of the initial group of journalists of Público, which became one of Portugal’s leading daily newspapers, where she still works. Her career has focused on Cultural and Socio-Cultural issues, and she was the editor of Público’s weekly literary supplement Mil-Folhas, from 2002 to 2007. She is one of Portugal’s first journalists to write about the cultural implications of the digital technologies, and has a weekly chronic on the subject. She usually covers the international book fairs like Frankfurt, Salon du Livre, London Book Fair and Book Expo America. Recently she has interviewed Julian Barnes, Ali Smith, A. M. Homes and Toby Litt.
Reflecting the respect she obtained as a literary journalist, she has integrated the jury panel of several book awards and regularly speaks about the Literature and Internet issues on library conferences all over Portugal.
In May/June 1996 she was at the College of Communication of Boston University with a scholarship by Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento - FLAD and in July 2003 the British Council invited her to the Cambridge Seminar on contemporary literature.
