Book translation – help an author to get the tools and translate his book to English!

A small amount of money could have a huge impact!

I'm a Brazilian teacher and researcher, holding a master's degree in education at UNIRIO (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro State). In this march 30, I defended my dissertation, amid the coronavirus outbreak, and decided to publish the results as a book here in Brazil.

"Why only the school?" (Apenas a escola por quê?) is scheduled to launch by April 2021, and aims to find a new way to education, an alternative to school that's truly liberating, far beyond homeschooling, and even unschooling. I called this new concept Intelectual Self-sufficiency!

As I invested in this book publishing here in Brazil (around US$1200), money came short to provide for it a translation to English (about US$1500). As an English and Portuguese speaker, I decided to take the endeavor myself. By not being a professional translator, I should rely on the help of two software to ease the pain of translating 150 plus pages of a heavy philosophical text: DeepL pro (to translate with help of AI neural networks) and Grammarly pro (to help me put the text on it's best and revise it).

Only US$ 84 and US$ 139,90 to fulfill the contract for a year of both tools, plus the taxes, will provide me the two tools needed to translate a book that will gain the international level as it wins over the barriers imposed by publishing only in Portuguese.

But, if I try to pay this US$ 260 myself relying only in my short earnings in BRL, it would cost over R$1300,00 on our so devalued currency, which strikes me with the equivalent to paying US$1300,00 adjusted by the buying capabilities of my earnings here in Brazil.

That's why I decided to look forward to international supporters who could ease the loads for both sides!

Just US$ 260 goal and you may see an author and researcher to spread a whole new knowledge to a much wider public!

By hitting the goal I will work in the translation, and be able to start the hunt for a publish in English without letting the manuscript get too much older. And, of course, you will all be informed of all the progress involved!
