tehKitten, that's a great idea!!

I'm sure you'll get lots of takers. In fact, I'd like to put my book in for consideration!

Maisy May is about a two teens in Australia struggling with religion, expectations and who they really are. It's a novella - about half or a third the size of a normal novel. The language used is fairly simple, I think.

Welcome to MR tehKitten

it's a wonderful idea; and nomesque's book is a wonderful read for you to translate.


standby for the stampede .....

It seems a good start, there are about 30.000 words, so with 3.000 a day, it should take about 10 days.

It's a lot easier to read than that !!...... (make it 5)

I meant the translation, I get a minimum of 3.000 a day. ^.^"
The most I've done in one day were 10.000 words, but that's just too much for one day.

I think this is handy for translating nomesque's book, clicky.

Another thing to learn!

What a beautiful idea, tehKitten. I love how people are starting to help each other spontaneously and voluntarily, without the need for contracts or money, without distrust.

And I'm a bit jealous too, because I always wanted to translate (books I like).
Not sure if the greek ebook market is developed enough yet, but worth considering.

I added some colors to the first post, and I'm almost done reading. After that I will send you a PM, with most of the questions. (expect a lot ^.^")
And, at school I've read a piece of the story to some of my classmates, and they like it too!

Where are the other people's? As soon as I got the document I start translating. But I want to have another one in queue. (A)
It's not that I want to rush things, but just, if I want to take a break of translating for a sec, I can read a bit of the next book, and then continue to translate. And if I have a queue it makes me feel important.

Hello tehKitten,

Would you like to translate A Garden of Secrets? It's a 40K word paranormal romance set in a magical place called Winterwood, complete with shapeshifters and dragons!
If you want it, let me know and I'll send you whatever type file you require.

Thank you for such a nice offer!

What I'm going to say isn't meant to be mean, or hurt you in any way, but it's just what I see. You don't have much post's on MR. (Neither do I, but still.) I would like if I saw something on here. It's just some feeling. It always feels better when someone has a few more posts, if you're going to be busy for that person. Smashwords says it are 65k+ words. That is a lot of work (I guess more than a month ), and the subject isn't what I'm excactly interested in.
Is it ok if I put it on hold? Maybe I'll translate it when I got some more experience.
