Award Winning Author
Author J. L. Nunes holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the State University of Rio de Janeiro, but his affinity for literature led him to have a regular column in the weekly Toronto newspaper “Portuguese Sun” during his time in Canada. He became a published author in Brazil, gaining significant recognition as an award-winner in the first national Fantasy Literature contest, featured in the anthology “Tukalash” by the Cultural Center Beyond Imagination.
He currently resides in Lisbon, Portugal, where he has developed short films (“The Day of Gethsemani,” screened at the Shortcutz Film Festival in Porto). In 2024, the author established his online platform to showcase his work, with a focus on texts paired with digital illustrations.
He is also the co-founder, with his brother P. R. Nunes, of the successful company EBook ANVIL, a result of this partnership. His primary goal is to understand audience reception in the vast universe of different media, social networks, and multinational streaming platforms, seeking to illuminate the possibility of developing a universal creative language adapted to the challenges of the new era of communication.
