Something Authentic

getting ready for the big move!

Thursday, January 07, 2010

in just a few weeks, i'll be moving to the city of la plata, in buenos aires!
i'll be studying eng translation, and hopefully in the future i'll find a job in a publishing house, translating books! *fingers crossed*
that's my goal with this career, if it doesn't work, i'll find something over at the creative side. maybe web designing. definitely photography.

i read somewhere that there are people trying to organise an event or sth called "latin america exists too", to try and get publishers' attention.

we latin folks want books to get published in spanish as soon as possible, not years and years after their release in the us or uk!

anyway, i'm busy these days, writing DN, doing some early homework for uni, and trying to get everything ready for feb, when i finally come to lp and stay.
i'm doing some crafts too, when i have pics i'll upload them.

i'm happy with the way DN's coming along :) i've reached the 25k mark, which is more than anything i've ever written. excerpts are soon to make an appearance here.

in other news, i've posted an interview with 2 australian authors over at TCM, hazel edwards & ryan kennedy.
go here to read it. leave a comment and show ryan some love (it's his 1st interview)
apparently, a publisher from ford street publishing told some other authors about the interview and i've been getting emails from these authors asking if i'd be interested in doing an interview with them. it's the first time i've been in contact with so many australian people.
hazel told one of her writing friends about me and my book blog, and this author contacted me asking me if i'd like to recieve her latest book. of course i said yes. i've never read an aussie book, and i'd love to start!
i gave her my former address for her to send me the book, but from now on it'll be: ella press, la plata, BA!
