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. |

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! Last edited by tehKitten; 06-06-2010 at 07:12 AM. |

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! Toni Leland http://www.tonileland.com |

Is it ok if I put it on hold? Maybe I'll translate it when I got some more experience. Last edited by tehKitten; 06-09-2010 at 01:46 PM. |
