From roberstanek.com: Translation and rights news continues to be good. Currently, my publisher is in discussions with publishers in Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, Portugal, China, Taiwan, Japan, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and elsewhere. Translations of the books are underway in Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Korean, Russian, and several other languages. Scholastic is considering publishing paperback editions.
I wish for Portugese or French. Portugese would be the easier for me to read than the English, but since I'm studying French maybe it would help me learn more.
From roberstanek.com: The secrets of the praise that appears at the beginning of the Ruin Mist books? These quotes are from editors at major publishers who read and liked my books but ultimately decided not to publish them, including Susan Allison, Betsy Mitchell, and Carolyn Reidy. As far as fiction agents that I have worked with, they include Richard Curtis and Al Zuckerman.
I also wondered about it cause in every book it has those. Now I know AND its like a cool secret.

What a great post! I like that Mr. Stanek always remembers to thank readers AND it's usually first in his posts.

Indeed, that's why I think RS has so strong a following. He appreciates his readers AND always makes time for fans.

Yes, this made strong impression on me, too. RS was always extremely kind to me when I mailed him.

Yes, it is awesome even if it wasn't the movie news we've all been hoping for.

I like that as well becuase it shows how much he respects his readers unlike so many other authors.

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for Stanek's success. No other authors deserve it as much as he does. But I would be highly suspicious of Scholastic's motives given their track record. More likely they're just trying to figure out new ways to kill RS success.

I would too. Scholastic is like a 10,000 pound gorilla that gets what it one way or another. You'd have to live under a rock not to see the muscle they put behind pushing their books through schools.

Stanek is one of the greats, I have read most everything he's written since my cousin works at the library I always get them first.
