Writers' Apprentices: April 2014

The Writers’ Apprentices is an individual blog, just in English, with only two pages. But it’s also an extension of the bigger blog called Aprendizes de Escritores. As I use to say, Writers’ Apprentices and Aprendizes de Escritores are twins, but not identic ones. I created Aprendizes de Escritores in April/2011 and, since then, I’ve been translating it to English to turn it into a bilingual blog. The whole blog has 15 pages, and there are lots of parts there in Portuguese that are already in English too. As I am a translator, I want both blogs to be shared with all people, no matter the language, or the profession. In order to know the whole bilingual blog of 15 pages, if you’d like after you visit here, please click on the link at the pen below. Here, on the Writers’ Apprentices, you’ll find lots of interesting things too, in a pleasant way, such as articles, texts, phrases, comic cards, general comments and tips, etc.

Happy World Book Day!

On April 23rd, World Book Day, through the Writers’ Apprentices Blog, where I write _ one thing I’ve been improving also through reading, among other things _ I congratulate this priceless companion, the book. The time we can dedicate to read a book is totally enjoyable. We can’t forget, though, that millions of people in the world don’t have access even to printed books much less to ebooks. We can never consider libraries or used books stores outdated. We have to divulge projects and initiatives such as itinerant libraries, book sales on bookstores and the books donation campaigns, also donating books when we can. Happy World Book Day!
