2023Wrote, translated, and self-published my debut collection of five short stories across suspense, horror, detective, and drama. I handled the full publishing pipeline: drafting and revisions, self-translation into English, editing, interior layout and e-book formatting, cover design, distribution on Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Managed launch marketing, including paid ads (Amazon/social) and ongoing optimization. The project strengthened my bilingual voice, genre pacing, and my ability to deliver a book independently—from draft to retail.
Key details:
- Five stories: “Teddy Bear,” “Flora,” “Catherine,” “Monty’s Ghost,” “The Cursed House”.
- Original texts written by me, translated into English by me, then edited/proofread by external editors.
- Design by me: cover concept, typography, interior layout, export specs.
- Operations: KDP setup, retailer pages, pricing, paid ad campaigns and performance tracking.
- Samples available on request
