Frequently Asked Questions

WordWide empowers non-English language authors to reach readers all over the world by providing seamless translation and publishing services. At WordWide, our expert team will assist you in becoming globally published authors.

If you are a published author anywhere in the world looking to get your book translated and published in the English-speaking market, WordWide may be right for you. We can help you translate and publish your book in English. Once published, your book will be sold on Amazon in paperback and e-book formats and distributed to other online platforms and brick and mortar bookstores by Amazon. Learn more about our service offerings here (link) and choose what suits you best.

We work with authors who have already published a book in their local language, and are looking to publish an English-language version of their book in English-speaking countries. If that sounds like you, we encourage you to get in touch!

No, WordWide is not a publisher. Our expert team is actively involved in the publishing industry in the U.S. and internationally, yet our model differs from mainstream publishers. We provide guidance, services and tools designed for a foreign-language author like you to become a published author in the English-reading world.

The final price and timeline for publishing your book depend on several factors, like the length of your manuscript, its complexity, and production needs. For example, if your book exceeds 40,000 words, is a non-fiction work requiring specialized expertise, or requires complex layouts, custom illustrations, or cover designs—each of these factors can affect both the cost and timeline. We’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your project’s specific needs.

The timeline for our work depends on each individual author’s goals. For instance, if you are looking to translate your book to English and publish it on Amazon, the process may take 3-4 months, depending on the length of the book. If you are also interested in our assistance with developing and implementing a marketing plan for your book, the process may take additional time.

Please fill out this contact form (link), which includes a few brief questions that will help us understand your goals and determine whether and how we can be of service. Please be as detailed as possible in your responses. Once you submit the form, we’ll review the information you provided and respond to you by email. Once we ensure we have all the information we need and decide whether to proceed, we’ll send you a detailed publishing plan, timeline, and payment schedule.

We work directly with authors on a highly individualized basis. Once our specialists connect with an author and agree to proceed, we will draft a plan tailored to the author’s specific needs.

Yes. WordWide is working with authors who have already published a book or have a final manuscript ready for translation and publication in English on Amazon.  We are not providing editing services or working with manuscripts that are still a work in progress. The same applies to translated manuscripts submitted to us—they must be final and ready for publishing. Under the ‘Publish My Book’ plan, for books translated by us, we offer two rounds of proofreading, but the submitted text cannot be changed. In this plan, we will also create two cover concepts based on the author’s brief, from which the author will choose the final cover design.”
