The Opportunity

Why Germany? Because Your Readers Are Already Waiting

You've built a loyal audience in English. Across the Atlantic, millions of German readers are starved for exactly the kind of series you write — and they're willing to pay a premium for quality translations.

Second-Largest Book Market

Germany is the #2 book market worldwide — a €9.9 billion industry with voracious readers in every genre you write.

Kindle Unlimited Is Surging

German KU readership has exploded. Readers are actively hunting for the LitRPG, cozy, and romance series that dominate English-language KU.

Audiobooks Are Booming

German audio streaming has surged over 200% since 2019. Listeners on Audible.de, Spotify, and BookBeat are hungry for exactly the kind of long-running series you've built.

Your Backlist Is Sitting Idle

Traditional localization costs thousands per book and takes years. If you have 10+ titles, that's a fortune in rights going unexploited.

The bottom line:Your backlist has unrealized value. We unlock it — together.
The Process

From English Manuscript to German Bestseller

Four steps. Zero cost to you. We handle the entire pipeline so you can keep writing while your backlist earns in a new market.

01

Simple Licensing

We sign a term-limited, non-exclusive agreement for German-language rights only. You keep full ownership of your English rights and every other territory. No lock-in, no surprises.

02

AI + Human Localization

Our hybrid pipeline delivers a first-pass AI translation, then native German editors refine every page. They ensure your LitRPG stat sheets are precise, your cozy charm lands, and your romance pacing stays pitch-perfect.

03

Native Audio Generation

We produce professional German-language audiobooks using cutting-edge AI narration, quality-checked by native speakers. Your series launches on Audible.de, Spotify, and more from day one.

04

Launch & Profit Share

We handle distribution across Amazon.de, Tolino, Audible.de, and other German retailers — metadata, keywords, categories, ads. Then we split net royalties 50/50, every month. You watch the revenue roll in.

Translation Quality

Every Word, Reviewed by Humans

AI gives us speed. Native German editors give us soul. Every translation passes through multiple rounds of human review before it ever reaches a reader.

AI-Powered First Draft

State-of-the-art neural translation creates a fluent first pass that preserves your voice, pacing, and narrative style.

Native German Editors

Every page is reviewed and refined by native German-speaking editors who specialize in your specific genre.

Genre-Specific QA

From LitRPG stat blocks to cozy charm to romance beats — dedicated proofreaders ensure nothing is lost in translation.

We share sample chapters for your approval before translating a full series.
