I have some sparetime now,so wanna translate an English book into Chinese,but the book must at least have these conditions as following(otherwise the publishing houses in China won't be willing to publish it or you have pay the publish money by youself):
1.the book hasn't been translated into Chinese yet.
2.it's popular or welcomed by many people.
3.I don't have money to pay for the author,but if the publish house is willing to pay for the author then it is ok,but I guess it's impossibe now 'cause the severe publishing competition in China now.
4.the book isn't too thick.
5.seems we can preview the good selling in China.
6.novels are hard now 'cause too many,seems a book about culture,science,music,pets,celebs,pop singers,immigrants....would be better.
7.I can co-operate with the author or the recommeder.
in a word,I can't pay money to the publishing house for this book 'cause I say honestly I dont have money to risk now.I wanna earn a little from this book at least I don't lose money.
many thanks!^_^
