Translate Your Book - Translate your book into German

Own your Intellectual property
keep 100% of your royalties

Is it time to translate your book?

Everyone wants to read great books in their own language, and Germans are certainly no exception. In fact, German is the biggest selling language on Amazon after English.

More and more authors are reporting huge sales after translating their books, with industry leaders like Mark Dawson, Joanna Penn, JD Kirk, and Joseph Alexander now selling their entire catalogues in multiple languages to great effect.

The translation of your work into intellectual property that you own 100% is the new disruption in the writing community… and breaking Germany before the masses pile in has been a top priority of many six- and seven-figure writers.

German language books are the new frontier and writers who have seized the opportunity have seen a 400% increase in sales that has quickly offset the translation cost.

With Amazon Marketing Services now fully-fledged and inexpensive in Germany, and an eager audience of millions… the race is on to translate your book and dominate your niche in German.

We translate your book, quickly, efficiently, and with a human touch that will preserve your voice as a writer. Right now, we believe the main focus for indie authors should be the German market so that’s all we offer – translations from English into German.

We will translate your manuscript, front cover, blurb and Amazon product description. You can find out how to get started below.

Unless it’s a really complicated project, our translation rates are set at £75 for 1000 words. This means that the average 60,000-word manuscript will cost just £4500 to translate. We think that’s pretty amazing.

It’s no secret that old-style translation is slow and expensive, making it inaccessible for writers. Instead of paying up front, most are forced to license away their rights and receive a pittance on each sale.

But what if you could afford to pay for your own translations and keep 100% of your Intellectual Property?

Translate Books pairs you with experienced human translators who understand your genre, preserve your voice, get your book to market sooner… and ultimately make you much more money.

We promise that:

100% of the royalties from every single sale belong to you
Your translated title will be on the market sooner
Every word we translate is seen and edited by human eyes

We preserve your author’s voice so you can write to the world.

Now doesn’t that sound refreshing?

All I can say is Wow! The TranslateBooks team are fast, accurate, and my readers tell me they have completely captured my voice.
