Hey, there!

By the way, I'm Gonzaga Neto, aka Gonza. But feel free to call me whatever you like.

My curiosity knows no bounds! Writing is what I'm most passionate about, but I'm also into playing guitar, soccer
(let's go Flamengo!), video games, hosting poetic podcasts, editing books, taking pictures, and anything else that catches my interest - which is pretty much everything.

I'm a mixed-race from Natal hood in my early 30s. I've worked as a doorman, waiter, electrician, and since 2014, copywriter in Natal, Recife, São Paulo, and Mozambique -
yeah, I've seen a lion up close before. They're not that scary though. I mean, come on, I live in Brazil.

Fancy a chat?
