As a writer, I have always felt a passion for universal stories. Surely, there are many excellent books which deal in cultural or circumstantial themes, but I’ve always held the highest regard for those stories that deal in themes that speak of our innermost essence, those qualities that make us human and which we, unconsciously or not, held so dear.
Thus, I always make an effort to have each of my stories be as universal as possible.
That is why I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to speak a little about my work on the next installment of the British Writers Award, because I never felt that literature should be confined to the spaces of one single country or culture. Our work is human in nature, and as such, we write for the whole human genre.
It is an exciting experience to be with you.

So true. I think human nature is at the heart of every theme, Diogo. Absolute best of luck! :) xx
