And now it begins!

I have postponed my first english post for a few weeks. I was afraid of my baaad english and of having nothing relevant to say.

But, you know, the best way to learn something is making mistakes.  And so, it begins.

Yes, there’s a brazilian Science Fiction. And it’s not new. It has a long story, beginning in the XIXth century with some Verne-influenced writers, like Augusto Zaluar, comes trough the XXth Century with names like Monteiro Lobato, Menotti Del Pichia and Dinah de Queiros.

But that’s History – and altough I’m a historian who works with documents and research for a living, it is not the purpose of this blog.

This is blog is about been a brazilian SF/Fantasy writer and the search for a place at the sun. Any one of the 4,5 billion.

Our market is a little too closed for novelties and is very difficult to make the breaktrough in a major publisher. Until now, all I got was some short stories in anthologies and a short story collection of my own.  

I’ve decided to make my horizons broader, to put my english lessons to the test and start a international carreer. So, here I’m.
