I am so stoked…
I will soon have one of my books selling on Amazon
in China and translated into Chinese.

This is what happened.
Eight months ago, my friend, Donna Fasano, showed me
her book “The Merry-Go-Round and the page where it was being sold on Amazon in
China.

Seeing her book tickled me and I decided I wanted to
have one of my books up there for sale too. So, I signed up on a
site called Fibereads and submitted a number of books and waited with bated
breath.

Finally, I was notified that a manager had claimed
my project “I’m No Angel” and after many months of back and forth interactions
with different translators here is my beautiful cover.

It should be on sale there soon and hopefully, the
Chinese women will like the book as much as our English-speaking readers.

They’ve started on the next book I submitted and eventually,
Special Agent Francesca will be sold there also.

Mimi, congratulations on your first Chinese translation! The cover is just beautiful.
Thanks to you for sharing, Donna XO
I also have one on sale and three more being translated. It's quite exciting, isn't it?
Hi Olga, it is exciting. I love the idea of other cultures enjoying our work. Just hope they were able to translate it so it makes sense to them. 🙂
Super cool! Let me know how it goes, and I'll try it!!
According to some of the results, it doesn't seem to entail a huge financial return but then it costs nothing but your time so it's no loss either. Go for it, my friend 🙂
Congrats! I love how they integrated the cover to show their culture, beautiful!
Hi Jacquie – since this was my son's favorite of all my covers, he thought so too LOL!
Terrific Mimi!! It's beautiful!
Thanks Traci. When I saw Donna's great cover, I just knew I had to have one in Chinese too. 🙂
Beautiful cover, Mimi – and great idea to go Chinese!
Thanks Stephanie – it's been a blast working with the translators. They've all been so nice 🙂
