About this Gig

Writing a Brazilian character, a scene in São Paulo or a story set in Brazil? I'll make sure it feels real to someone who actually lives here.


I'm a native Brazilian, born and raised in São Paulo, a voracious reader and a Product Manager by profession. I read your story and flag anything that would feel off, stereotyped or simply wrong to a Brazilian reader.


What I check:

Culture and everyday life: food, family dynamics, social habits, holidays

Language: Portuguese words, names, nicknames, slang and how people actually talk

Places: cities, neighborhoods, transport, climate and how they feel

Characters: whether your Brazilian characters feel like real people, not clichés

Stereotypes to avoid and how to fix them


You get comments along the text plus a clear report with suggestions.


Please note: Brazil is huge and diverse. I share my perspective as a white woman from São Paulo. For experiences I haven't lived (other regions, Afro-Brazilian or Indigenous experiences), I'll tell you honestly and point out where you'd benefit from another reader.


Message me before ordering to tell me about your story.
