Media interest
Since the birth of the Acorn elves, I have given many interviews and countless articles have been published on the internet and in paper form, and the Acorn elves have been featured on radio and television several times. Below are their biggest successes in foreign media (the local ones – Czech ones – can be found in the Czech version of the site)
If you too would like to write an article about Acorn elves or publish an interview with their author, feel free to email me (petr@vaclavek.com). I look forward to possible collaboration.
