Wauw. No he conseguido otro lector con esa honestidad y respeto a su propia historia - y la de otros... - como la que encontraras de Javier Jaen.
Javier hace uno de los acercamientos mas inteligentes a este tipo de cursos. Y luego, su esfuerzo por usar la opinion de otros como recurso hace de este curso uno de esos que no te cansar'as de revisitar de vez en cuando.

Estoy a tope con el tema editorial! Este curso me ha encantado sobre todo por la manera que el profesor te explica el contenido, y también por ver diferentes puntos de vista expuestos en las entrevistas a directores de arte e ilustradores profesionales. ¡Muy recomendable a todos los interesados en el mundo editorial!
