Alejandra Martinez
Hello! I'm an award-winning freelance writer, archivist, and cat mom born and raised in Laredo, TX, and currently based in Austin, TX. I've been writing professionally since 2016, specializing in film criticism, features, and pop culture articles from a Tejana perspective. My work has been published in The Austin Chronicle, LatinaMediaCo, The Wrap, Letterboxd Journal, RogerEbert.com, and more. In 2024, I was voted Best Film Critic in The Austin Chronicle's Readers' Poll. I'm a member of both the Austin Film Critics Association and GALECA. I love horror movies, stories about lonely weirdos, the surreal, and hope to crystallize the ephemeral through my writing.
