How to translate your books without spending a dime by Kumar is a rich expose of how to do it. I have followed him in other scripts on Babelcube and have to say this book is most comprehensive. In chapter 1, Kumar asks why we should be translated, in chap 2, he discusses the traditional methods of translation, in chap 3, he introduces Babelcube and his experiences. In chap 4, there are two chapters with how to set up your profile to hiring a proof reader and signing the agreement. In chap 5, we learn about formatting and publishing our new mss, with chap 6, wrapping up how to market our translated books and build an email list.

For authors even considering the idea of translating their works into foreign languages, this book by Prasenjeet Kumar is a must read. It clearly explains the three most viable, and affordable, options for authors. Prior to reading this book, I'd already traveled down each path and I agree with both the pros and cons that the author details for each option. Very well-written, How to Translate Your Books Without Spending a Dime, is rich in detail, practical, and never overwhelming.
