All the best with your exam, Andrei. And with finding a good publisher. (If you change your mind and self-publish, try draft2digital).

Thanks for the tip, neena. I probably won’t self-publish, at least not the Romanian version, but we’ll see how everything goes when the proper time comes. Cheers!

Glad to know that, Erika! Btw, thanks so much for sharing your mother’s art. She’s really talented. I hope you two get to make a book together soon. I’ll be a guaranteed buyer.
