Hello everyone,
I just wanted to announce that I am looking for someone who can proof my Spanish (Mexican) in my upcoming book, "Year Of The Cat".
I doubt there will be much to it, this is mostly just precaution. If interested, hit me up. I sure could use the help. It is always good to have someone double check your work. Just to be safe.
Also, I would like to give a couple shout outs to some really amazing and talented authors I have met or read on Goodreads.
Amy Lignor - I have read her book, "The Heart Of A Legend", and while a Western, it is a very good read. She also has written in other genere's and you can see all of her work right here.

Mitch Newman - He posts a lot of short stories on his Goodreads profile and has published a couple of books that I recommend highly. "School Colors" and "Sophie Paraskova"

Dick Peterson - His book "By The light: A Novel Of Serial Homicde" is a very good read.

Check these authors out and their work.
I also wanted to give a shout out to some very good blogs.
Love Hate Poetry - By my best friend, Hira. She has all kinds of things going on there. She has done a fantastic job with book reviews, author interviews, and so much more.

Okay, well, that's it for my Random Post number one. Remember, I am looking for anyone who can help me double check my Spanish in my upcoming book.
Thanks!
Aww thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's also my new blog site http://saraswritingcorner.blogspot.com :P *blush*
I interviewed Amy, it was fun and sounds like she writes some really interesting stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to these blogs. Sadly I don't know Spanish
ReplyDeleteNew follower :)
Thanks Scrawl, Rachel and Book Slave. Following back!
ReplyDeleteAre you looking for authentic Mexican phrases or just regular Spanish corrections. Spanish is my first language and I don't mind helping; but I'm from Puerto Rico and certain names and phrases differ from culture to culture. For example: a cellphone (in Spanish) is 'celular' in Puerto Rico and I believe that it is called 'móvil' in México. Another thing; some Spanish words are universal regardless of where you are from, others are not - their meaning can be harmless in one country and offensive in another.
ReplyDeleteThere's not a lot of Spanish in the book. But Mexican Spanish is what I am going for. Authentic/slang, whatever works I guess. Would you still like to take a look at it?
ReplyDeleteSpanish is my native tongue so I's here if you need the help.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay, I don't mind taking a look, not at all.
