Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Literature at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and had lots of American friends, hence the weird accent. I'm definitely not Irish or Canadian, I promise!

Where do you live?
I live in London and have been here for 3.5 years now.

Where do you work?
I'm a Social Media Producer at Penguin Random House UK.

How did you get into publishing?
I did publishing work experience on 3 different occasions, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running this channel for 7 years. (P.s. You don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing!).

Can you review my book?
I can't guarantee that I will, but if you'd like to get in touch, please take a look at my review policy on the 'About' page of my channel.

What do you use to film?
I have a Canon 60D with a Tokina 11-16 lens (which is super useful if you want to sit close to your camera and still get a wide shot) and I use a window as my natural lighting. I edit my videos in Final Cut X.

Loved loved loved your comments on booktubing. That's what I love about booktube people are so welcoming and anyone can do it however much you read. Lovely video as always Sanne.

[ArielBissett]

I love your booktube advice! I think it's sooo true that people should need to feel like literature students to feel valuable here!

[TheBrazenGirl]

Your channel is one of my favourite YouTube finds, you are genuine and smart and I could listen to you for hours :)

[bettyreads]

You're the reason I found out booktube was a thing way back when so it's awesome to hear your answers on this tag. I'll definitely have to add this to the long list of videos I've been meaning to do :]

[Tomebound]

You are one of the first booktubers I watched since the inception of this community and you're also an inspiration that made me want to start my own channel so thank you for that!

"everyone's opinion is valid"
this is gold my friend i love you

[felopezro]

Mercedes, Ariel and you uploading a video the same day, so good <3

[upliftingthoughts]

I have been watching your videos for over three years now.  I also have a degree in English and am "Well read."  It is great to have you and your videos appear each month.  The interest in books and reading has just gone up over time and I owe you something for that.  Lately I have been reading American History and different dictionaries.  I try to read as often as I can actually.

[GabyGabsBooks]

So true! I think I read more before I started my channel; but I also read a wide variety of books thanks to recommendations I get on booktube. You were the first booktuber I watched back when I first discovered this community. Still love your channel❤️

[paginasdeclyo]

This tag is one of my favorites because I can always find new booktubers for me to watch... I'd leave my channel but I don't post in english that often (I do have a playlist on my english videos if you'd like to see, tho).
P.S. Your eyes have the most beautiful color.

[theolivelibrary]

Watching your videos is like sitting down with a cup of tea in a comfy chair, lovely! Other booktubers who make me feel that way are Sophie Carlon and SavidgeReads, and hopefully I can instill that feeling into others with my own videos. Haha.

I think my favourite part of this tag is the newbie shout outs. One of the booktubers I admire did it for me recently; it was so nice and such a shock :')

[jessilouwho]

Thank you for linking your video on how to begin with BookTube! I have been going back & forth quite a bit recently about whether or not it's something I would like to try. I've done various book blogging through the years, and it's definitely a medium that I'm currently very interested in. I'm just not quite sure where to begin. Your video was definitely very helpful, and I might just start playing around with things & seeing if I can make some content that I'm pleased with! :)

[michelea]

BookHands is one of my favorite new booktubers but she hasn't posted in a while. I hope she continues because I really enjoy her channel. Btw...I really loved your video about book finishes/covers!

[AFrolicThroughFiction]

I love this tag! I'm a newbie booktuber (I guess you'd class me as a newbie?), I started at the end of October and absolutely LOVE making my videos <3 It's so interesting to see this tag because it's like the other end of the spectrum for me :D

[CherrieWalker]

I love watching this tag I really enjoyed doing it and it was so nice seeing you do it as you were the first booktuber I started watching about 4 years ago :)

[notanniewarren]

Your channel was one of the main ones that inspired me to make my own :) Really love and appreciate your content!

[Jennikreads]

Loved hearing your answers! I'm almost to me 3... maybe it's 4 year mark on booktube. Haha I don't remember. I did this tag as well a month or so ago and really enjoyed it!

[BooksAndJams]

Always love your videos! I'm thinking of doing this one for my one year anniversary on Booktube coming up in April.
