booksandquills | Q&A In Dutch! | Living in London + Missing the Netherlands. @booksandquills | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
It's been a while, but I figured it would be fun to do another video in Dutch (eeee!). I never record myself speaking Dutch, so this is kind of weird. For those of you who don't know, I was born and raised in the Netherlands and moved to London 5 years ago. Thanks for the questions and don't forget to turn on your subtitles!

Can you review my book?
I’m always happy to hear about upcoming books, but I’m afraid I don’t review self-published books and prefer to be contacted by a publisher rather than the author. I can only accept a small number of books for review, since I have a lot of books lined up already. I enjoy reading classics, dystopian/apocalyptic novels, sci-fi, translated fiction and a variety of graphic novels, YA and contemporary literary fiction. You can contact me at booksandquills@gmail.com
Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Lit at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and have lots of American friends. I'm definitely not Irish or Canadian, I promise!
Where do you live?
I live in London and have been here for 4 years now.
How did you get into publishing?
I did publishing work experience 3 times, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running this channel for 8 years. (P.s. You don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing!).
What do you use to film?
I have a Canon 60D with a Tokina 11-16 lens. I edit my videos in Final Cut X.
