#WritersCoffeeClub 19 August. Talk about the influence #folklore has on your work.
...this prompt was written for me, right? Because my entire writing work is all about folklore.
German folk tales, to be specific - folk tales written down and published in (mostly) the 19th century, which makes them in the public domain and thus fair game for translation into English and release to an international audience.
So far, I have released two books (with a third in preparation), and I have published 748 translated tales on my Patreon campaign.
What's more, all my translations have been released under a #CreativeCommons Zero license, so anyone is free to use them in whatever way they want for their own projects. And if anyone is interested in how to make more use of German folklore in their own works, I'd be happy to advise.
