I'm looking for someone who knows Spanish Sign Language.
I'm going to be translating a graphic novel where SSL is featured (hooray for d/Deaf rep!!) and I want to be sure that I get the text aligned with the signs in the artwork. This should be happening at some point this year.

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this:
I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS.
I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.
