Translating my book, journey

Yes, the moment has come.

I will start translating my book.

Wish me luck.

I have been writing in italian for my whole life and my first novel ,The last Beat came out in italian but now, since I think that it's a great story I really wish I can reach more people, and just by translating it I'll be able to do it.

I am really ecxited to start this journey even if I know it's going to be so long and difficult.

I have translated before but oh my God, that was hard.

I will try and update here everything that I do.

This is how the italian cover is, I might keep the same one for the translated version, I'll definitely change the trim size because I know that American and English people do care about the size of the book while Italians don't.

I can't wait to know what more people think about my story and I can't wait to start this journey, this is the first novel I've ever written and I was 17 when I started and finished this, I am so proud of it and I am really happy to try and translate it to make it reach even more people.

I hope you'll be interested in following me trough this journey, it's going to be me growing and becoming a better author and translator.

Why you should read classic books and some suggestions.

Classic books are one of the most difficult category of books that you can read. They are called ''havy'' in the italian language because sometimes they have some difficulto words or too old expression that you have to search because the most of the time you don't know the meaning. They are hard and sometime quite boring but they need to be like this. If you consider two books, a contemporary books, let's take for example Jamie McGuire's ''Beautiful disaster'' and George Orwell's 1984, we have a kind of love story in both of the books, however, the concept that Jamie tells in her beautiful thing are totally wrong, they teach to young girls that your boyfriend should be aggressive, way too jalous als if the main characters of the story are not even in a relationship, I hope that who read that book could relate to me, so it is full of wrong concepts that teach just wrong things. We have 1984 that is a classic, there is some sort ...

Come scrivere un libro, parte due - la struttura.

Con questo articolo, il secondo della serie, qui trovate il primo, è importante per un motivo di ordine che voi leggiate prima il primo e poi il secondo, parleremo quindi oggi della struttura che dovrebbe avere il vostro libro. Sull'articolo di ieri mi sono dimenticata di specificare che questi sono gli accorgimenti che hanno funzionato per me e che mi hanno permesso di redigere qualcosa di sensato, quindi capisco che qualcuno possa trovarli insensati o poco corretti. Oggi parleremo quindi della struttura che dovrebbe avere un libro e soprattutto della grammatica e dell'ortografia. Prima di tutto il testo VA GIUSTIFICATO. Cosa costa schiacciare il tastino che giustifica il testo? A patto che non abbiate scritto una poesia e con i versi lunghi e corti vogliate enfatizzare qualcosa e che quindi il motivo per cui non giustificate ha senso, fatelo sempre. Darà un senso di ordine alla vostra opera. Dopo di che, sempre in modo che tutto sia lineare, decidete come vole...
