MEET LIGIA LigiaNunes on WATTPAD
Simply LigiaNunes on Wattpad, I'm a feminist, queer Brazilian Latina, and a proud mix of Brazilian Indigenous and Spanish blood. I was born and raised in the fourth biggest city in the world (São Paulo, Brazil), only to move to what feels like one of the smallest, in a calm rincón of western Spain. Still, my works definitely show my 28 years in the big city, and all the dangers, inequalities, and facilities you can find in one.
I'm now finishing my first visual novel game published on Itch.io (a medieval romance/fantasy called "Love the Guard, Be the King") and getting ready to focus on my zombie book, "Some thing called Myself." Apart from that, I freelance as a layout designer, proofreader, and sometimes illustrator for independent writers and small publishers.
I have a bachelor's degree in Game Design and put together a long list of the weirdest, I mean, very eclectic, courses and classes you can think of, ranging from Literary Translation and Ballroom dancing to traditional Japanese theater, Proofreading, and Political Studies. I finished my first book at 24 (after several failed attempts), won my first Brazilian writing competition at 27, and a Watty at 28. At 29, I became a Wattpad Star, and now at 30, I still feel I have an entire world of knowledge to discover; I'm only just beginning! :)
When I'm working, I often have different kinds of synthwave and lofi on my playlist, plus lots of the 80s pop/rock/goth, industrial goth, post-punk... and also classical music, Brazilian oldies, and 1990-2010s pop-rock (although I'll never say no to Billie Eilish, Urias, Duda Beat, and Gloria Groove).
When I'm not working, I'm either reading, playing something, watching a series, or visiting Spanish castles. My favorite book genres are science fantasy and romance with lots of action, humor, LGBTQ+ representation, and diversity. I love Anne Rice, Ursula Le Guin, NK Jemisin, and a few Brazilian authors you probably never heard about. My all-time favorite series is Star Trek. And yes, Voyager and Discovery are definitely the best in the ST lineage. As for games, I love visual novels, RPGs, turn-based strategy, and anything with a great story!
