Welcome to Book Birdie Translations

And a new market awaits-  If you've had a successful novel or series in the English speaking markets, frankly you are leaving money on the table if you don't consider German translations of your work to bring to DE market.

The German book market is huge and the E-book segment is getting bigger year by year. The latest figures from the Export Sales Report of the Association of American Publishers state that Germany is the second biggest European market for sales of books (after the UK) and the third biggest global market for sales of e-books (after the UK and USA). In 2010, just 1.9 million e-books were sold in Germany. In 2020, that figure was 35.8 million- that's close to a 35 fold increase in just ten years.   

Self-Publishing has taken off but is still in its infancy. Just a few years ago, self-publishing was a foreign concept to about 99% of the German population. Now a quick glance at the Amazon.de Kindle bestseller list reveals that 40% to 60% of the top titles are self-published. Even so, the market is far from saturated by German indie authors and this represents a ripe opportunity for English speaking authors to consider fiction translations in order to open a lucrative new market. Authors like Mark Dawson, Michael Anderle, Kyla Stone and Chris Cartwright have taken the leap already, What are you waiting for? Request a quote for our translation service now.
