Every once in a while, the concept of selling books overseas comes up. Some authors have their books translated in other languages and they sell these books in other countries. Other authors have topics they think would sell well to an English-speaking audience in other countries. To locate a translation company or individual in a particular language for your book, use your favorite search engine. You\u2019ll find companies and individuals willing to translate your book from English to Spanish, Russian, German, French, Japanese, Chinese and others. Here are links to three of many companies:

\n http:\/\/bookwebtranslation.com<\/a>
\n http:\/\/www.translation-servicesusa.com\/en\/services\/90-book-translation.html<\/a> <\/p>\n

If you are clueless as to how to sell books overseas or whether your book would sell in this country, consider a test run:
\n\u2022\tSign up with a book expo in the country. (Remember, though, that the competition for attention at these large events can be fierce and your book may not stand out from the crowd unless you are there pitching it.)
\n\u2022\tConnect with booksellers via the Internet. Encourage them to sell your books in their stores.
\n\u2022\tLocate an online forum and communicate with readers from the country.
\n\u2022\tFind book clubs or leaders of organizations related to the topic of your book.
\n\u2022\tIf you know someone there, see if he or she will do some footwork to get your book placed in stores.
\n\u2022\tAdvertise in a popular magazine that\u2019s distributed to your audience.
\n\u2022\tTravel to this country yourself and visit libraries, booksellers, etc.
