From poetic silences to joyful noise — I write what wants to be heard.

From poetic silences to joyful noise — I write what wants to be heard.

Gabriela Nascimento is a Brazilian author, writing in English and Portuguese, a poet, and a former journalist with over two decades of experience in storytelling, publishing, and communication.

Her work has spanned editorial leadership, best-selling gift books, and content strategy across cultures and industries — but fiction remains her first and final love.

Born in Brazil and now rooted in Denmark, Gabriela weaves her bilingual, bicultural voice into stories that listen, question, and soothe.

Whether through introspective fiction, poetic children’s books, or whimsical rhymes, her writing reflects a deep belief: that words can hold space — for emotion, for imagination, for healing.

With intimacy, lyricism, and philosophical undercurrents, she explores resilience, love, and the human longing for connection.

She’s a lover of fig trees, forgotten letters, Sunday quiet, and the sound of a child narrating their own life aloud.

  • "Sometimes, the metaphor isn’t just a mirror — it’s a method."

  • "I choose what to frame. What to blur. What to leave outside the shot. Every story is a photograph of what matters most in that moment."

  • "Some words are places. Some are prayers. Some are people."

  • "Some words are funny just by being themselves."
