A course by Aline Valek
Aline Valek is a writer, illustrator, and podcaster. Fascinated by the power of the written word, she uses writing as a form of language investigation and to find the stories nestled among small everyday details.
She has published two novels both published by Rocco: As águas-vivas não sabem de si and Cidades afundam em dias normais. She is also the brains behind the label Bobagens Imperdíveis (Impermissible Nonsense) created in the form of a newsletter, a book, and an e-zine, but which is now a podcast.
