Swedish Writers

[eljeque]

I wrote a book that is selling in the USA in English, and in Thaliand in English, French, and next month in German. I would like to have it translated into Swedish as well.

Please PM me if you are interested. I have a few other books that need to be translated as well, so this can be work that will last a year, which one can do while not at work.

Earth to Swedes, Earth to Swedes, come in, come in.

An opportunity to be published as a trasnlator, with your name on the front of a book which has sold about 7,000 copies in two years in Thailand. I als have other books that I will have translated into Swedish, which I have already finished in French and German. This is a good chance to start being paid for writing if it is something that you have always enjoyed.

The translator will receive 1/2 of the book's profits, which will be approximately 70,000 baht / year. The translator will also

Please PM me and I wil email a sample chapter to you. The story is about a little 13-year old run-away who gets herself into the sex tourist scene in Bangkok and then Pattaya. She also makes her way through Switzerland, Germany, Spain, SWEDEN for two years, and now England. She is currently in a mental institution in England.

The book is saleable in Sweden as well, and the translator will receive 1/2 of advance/royalties from a Swedish publisher.

Like this story hasn't been told a million times. I hear it at least twice daily

Considering the writing skills of the average thaivisa poster I wouldn't look here for a translator. If you get a publisher on the hook they all have skilled translators handy.

This is in reference to the first edition

From Bernard Trink, Bangkok Post

April 2005

My Name Lon, You Like Me? is the first book, to my knowledge, that tells about how local prostitutes view their profession in general, the sex tourists in particular.

***************

If you know of a book that is written from the viewpoint of the bargirl, from the time of her childhood; her running away from home many times; her father's death while searching for her; her time in a mental ward at the age of 12; Thai policemen trying to rape her; johns urinating on her; her perfoming softcore porn, working as a massage-prostitute in Germany and a stripper in Sweden before the age of 20, then tell me the name of the book.

I believe that the other books and stories that you refer to are from the view of the foreigner and they do not provide as Bernard Trink said, "Her side of it."

I think that some of the Thaivisa members write quite well. Besides, I am concerned with the writing skills in Swedish rather than English.

Publishers make all of the money. I am not interested in giving the book away to a publisher for 10%. I am happy to share the profits, which will be approx 60k to 70K each per year. I have already printed other books here, so I have the arrangements made for printing and distribution.

Thank you for your information

If you are in BKK there is a Swedish club / Swedish church @ 62 Sukhumvit Soi 33. You may want to try there.
