... en dan is de officiële release van 'The Pencil' een feit in de Verenigde staten. Je hoeft natuurlijk niet tot ginder te reizen, je kan het boek ook online bestellen. Lees je graag Engelstalig, wil je je talen bijschaven met een spannend boek of wil je je kids stimuleren om een andere taal te ontdekken? Ik heb wel een tip :-).
Ik geef toe dat ik toch wat fier ben op de commentaren die ik tijdens het edit proces van 'The Pencil' kreeg:

Comments from the publisher’s editor:
First of all, I’d like to congratulate you on successfully creating a solid ensemble that’s sure to pique the curiosity and interest of fiction lovers everywhere. The flow of the story is just amazing. I haven’t read anything that is as compelling and as electrifying as what you have put together here. It’s apparent that you have a very excellent command of the language; the way you played and mixed the words were striking. I can tell that you poured your heart out on this piece, and I commend you for that! I haven’t been this entertained in a long time. Many people attempt to be a writer, but only few have the courage and discipline to pursue it.

Comments from the translator:
As I said, I think it's a wonderful story. While reading, I got more and more the urge to start drawing myself! So I wish you good luck with it and love to hear how it goes. Hopefully, in the future it will be available in many different languages.

I thought your way of compiling your book and the extensive, descriptive manner of your subjects, where and how they lived (!)- was very, very good. Well done!
