Arivalter Bahyão interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

*Please note this is translated from Portuguese.

When did your love of books begin?

At the age of eleven, inspired by comic books and western books, I created my own magazine, REVIBOLSO, fully handwritten and put 'the sale in newsstands. This, in the City of Maragojipe, State of Bahia. Brazil. On this occasion, I created characters, such as superheroes and their stories.

When did you start to have the wish to become an author?

The impression that I have and that, already in that e'poca aroused in me this interest. Since my teachers read my meetings and encouraged me to continue creating. I then took a journalism course by correspondence, which helped me a lot in the development of newsrooms.

How have you found the process for becoming an author?

A friend, who also wrote, introduced me to a director of EDITORA CONTEMP,  Mr. Luiz Ademir. He asked me to prepare some material for a book. I gathered what I had prepared until then and my first Book came out. CRIES OF THE FLESH, Tales and Crönicas. Published nationally in 1974.

What would you say to those wanting to become an author?

If you have the vocation, let them prepare themselves, in terms of knowledge of the language and begin to create. Imagine that there are many people in the world in need of the comfort of their writings!
