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.

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.

Woohoo!

tehKitten, feel free to PM me with questions about wording, slang, names, whatever. I'll do my best to help you out.

tehKitten · 06-07-2010, 11:10 AM

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!

Hope it doesn't give them ideas ....

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.
