German Literature

[close] Hiii<3. This is a group for everyone who knows, is learning German or is simply interested in German culture.

[close] I started this group on idea that I had as a reader. I was constantly finding books in foreign languages that I am/was unable to read. I thought wouldn't it be great if I could ban together translators, authors and publishers together to possibly make English versions available to non-multilingual people? and also, books from other countries like the UK and Australia not available to those in the USA? I'm looking for translators who are dual-lingual, in their native tongue and in English. French, Italian, German, Dutch, Spanish, all apply here. My idea is to take the original book, translate it, publish it to Smashwords or somewhere similar, see how it gains an audience to an American publisher may pick it up and publish it, possibly give it a better translation. I'm not sure how all this work, legally, but it's worth taking a shot at! If this takes off, I'd like to start a website, to collaborate with reviewers, other bloggers, authors, publishers and freelance translators. We would work on translations, take requests, communicate with authors and publishers and review said books. if we cannot translate, I'd like to at least spread the knowledge of the books in hopes that they'd picked up by a USA publisher.

[close] Ein Ort, wo man über Bücher, Fernsehserien, Filme und YouTube-Videos reden kann :)

[close] Hallo, das ist eine Gruppe für Leute, die gerne über Bücher, Filme, Anime, Manga oder Serien diskutieren möchten. Aber auch finden hier gemeinsame Filme, Serien sowie Leseabende statt. Ebenfalls kann man sich hier gegenseitige Empfehlungen abgeben. Wichtig ist dabei das auch jeder sich an den Regeln hält. Auch können gerne „Autoren“ beitreten, die gerne einen ehrlichen Feedback für ihre Bücher/Textausschnitte haben möchten.
