David Gaughran, author of Let's Get Digital, ran a post on my ideas for indie translators. I am actively seeking translators in any language, particularly Spanish, French, and German. Clearly ebooks are expanding across the globe and the former geographic limitations are meaningless, so I believe there's a great opening and opportunity for creative entrepreneurs.
Thanks to my wonderful German translator Christa Polkinhorn, we've spent more than a month in the German Top 100, and though some pricing problems caused Der Schadelring to be temporarily unpublished, I'm very pleased with the small but growing market. I can see that duplicated around the world--writers and translators earning a living from a number of small revenue streams instead of counting on the next big payday.

Also mentioned it in my Alchemy of Scrawl blogtalk segment with Coral Russell.

I could do translations into Dutch and French, which are the two languages I grew up in. I could probably only start early 2012 though. You know how to contact me if you have any questions.
Great, Vanessa, I will email you!
How exciting to be able to have your books translated into other languages. I wish I had control over my books and could do that. Great good luck to you. Oh, and thanks for stopping in at the Write Game. I really appreciated your visit.
