    In what language to write?

    PUBLISHING 
    you might find someone on fiverr I don't know. what I meant by structure was your grammar is a bit mixed up in places.... for example: 'Now, I can't decide in what language should I write' should be 'Now, I can't decide what language I should write in'. Very easy to fix for the most part...

    Undoubtedly option 3. Judging from your first post only (second one looks more hurried) I feel that your English is very good. There are just a few changes that need to be made in your sentence structures and maybe a bit of brushing up here and there....but to be honest I have seen native...

    Hello! just a quick update. I made the Kindle Allstars last month. Not the US one but still pretty good I think. I didn't even know it existed so that was a nice surprise. Also started writing the udemy course of translating so I'll keep you posted. Back to writing now....

    My first picture ebook, what are your thoughts?

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm not too sure, have you made sure that the separate html files are named differently? As I've never used that method I can't say for sure, but I'm sure there's a way. I use sigil to create an ePub, and it works perfectly for making sure the page count is what you want it to be. Maybe someone...

    Hi, book shows as 1 page. This looks bad. Make sure you page break. I'd divide each page into a file within the main ePub file to be sure, this will increase the page count. For the layout you could consider a dtp like quark express or you could try in design. Book looks wicked though!

    You can get a translator on Elance. Fiverr is cheaper but it's hard to find quality. Let me know if you need specific guidance. I do this type of stuff on a daily basis.

    Hello, I am looking to buy the 'use' of a (very probably more in the near future) book. Essentially I would like to use it as part of a language education series I have. This is suitable for someone who has a short book that they wish to make a little extra from. Obviously if it's selling tons...
