Book translation is an art.
“The medium is the message”
– Marshall McLuhan, Canadian communication theorist.
This quote means that the form of communication is as important as the message it carries.
Your book in English is one story – your book in German is a different story entirely. Even if translated word for word, not just the language is different, but the tonality, the entire “feel” of the story too.
As an author with multiple years of experience in writing, publishing, and marketing, I know what it means to pour your heart, soul, and lots of tears into your book. I know that words have weight and value. They are more than just letters on a screen or on a printed page, so translations, too, should be more than just transferring words into a different language. This is why you want a translator who “gets” your story and knows what it takes to make it sell.
Why consider translating your book?
We all know that the book market is getting oversaturated quickly. With thousands of new indie-authors testing the waters and big publishing houses pushing their authors more than ever before, it’s hard to keep up.
Translating your manuscript into English or German – the two biggest selling languages on Amazon – doesn’t only allow you to create a new “add-on” product with a great potential to sell, it will also open doors to entirely new markets and masses of new readers who might have never heard about you before.
