Carlos L Ramalhão
Maia, Portugal
Born in Manchester, UK. Bred in Maia, Portugal. Been there. Looking forward to doing that.
«I am the son, I am the heir, of a shyness that is criminarly vulgar», so says Morrissey and I agree. Yes, I am complicated, think too much and feel things even more. See myself as a creative, romantic, sensitive old-fashioned guy, who likes poetry, particularly the one contained in music and cinema and art and photography and books. I've convinced myself I'm capable of doing it, rather than just admiring it. Consequently, I am frustrated. But naive enough to still believe in the future.
I am a Portuguese writer in love with photography (people, expressions, bodies fascinate me) and art (woodcutting in particular - see my background). I've been a singer in an indie band.
For a living, I do copywriting, translation and voice over. I am a screenwriter as well.
I have a BA in Journalism (Porto University) and an MA in Writing for the Media (Bournemouth University).
