thank you

Both English and Dutch, i begin writing in Dutch and i'm translating every chapter when finished. because if the dutch publishers aren't interested, then i could sent the manuscript to English or American publishers, and save a whole lot of work later on.

That's a very good idea! Chances are high Dutch publishers will not be interested, unfortunately. They mainly want to translate English fantasy and then publish that
Is your English good enough to translate? I have done some translation work in the past (mainly English > Dutch) and it's pretty difficult I think.

i'm still cherishing a little bit of hope that Luitingh will be interested in the manuscript, otherwise i think i will turn to Harper Collins or Houghton Mifflin.

and if no one is interested i will publish it myself. (i'm originally a Desktop publisher so i'm kind of used to designing lay-outs for books, and i have enough connections with print- bookbinding companies, so that should work out pretty nicely too.


Well i think my English is good enough for translating (i have a recommendation letter for the university of Cambridge, i did not actually enroll there, but it is a good indication of my skill with the English language.)

so i do not think that translating would be that hard of a task to to handle.

Dutch > English is easy the otherway around is a pain in the rump.
