Luciany Aparecida (born 1982) is a Brazilian writer. While she is originally from the Charco region in the Vale do Jiquiriçá in Bahia state, she now lives in Salvador where she teaches at the State University of Bahia. She has a Doctorate in Literature (2015) from the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (Federal University of Paraíba), a Master's Degree in Literature from the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (Federal University of Paraíba) (2011), and a Bachelor's Degree in Vernacular Languages from the Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana: Feira de Santana, BA, BR (State University of Feira de Santana: Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil).

She is known for her work in poetry, drama and fiction, under a variety of pen names such as Ruth Ducaso, Margô Paraíso and Antônio Peixôtro. Luciany Aparecida prefers to call her pen names aesthetic signatures, as she uses each pen name according to the general writing style she plans to use or the effect that she is wanting to have on her readers.

Luciany Aparecida is also known for intentionally writing texts that make her readers uncomfortable. Aparecida does this to challenge the way they think, and to point out many social problems that she sees in Brazil. Kiridia12 (talk) 06:53, 2 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
