Nations like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia are ideal markets as the natives can read our stuff with no issue. Other nations still buy a significant amount of our stuff, but likely less than a translation would sell.Some pointers:Many of our counterparts in the small press use fufillment houses, many of whom have several distributors in nations other than the US. If you place your good with these folks, the international issue should resolve itself. If it doesn't, ride them on it until they get you into other countries, they do work for you after all.If, like us, you are placed directly into distributors, it will take more work. I would recommend a consultant that represents other companies so that you are part of a group with some muscle to get paid. Make a point of attending Origins this year and look for these people. I also advise GTS, but since that is 11 months away you should start now.If you are going to license a translation, get some money up front so that you at the very least get something out of it if they decide to not pay you. I am certain that the overwhelming majority of folks will pay you in an honest manner, it is hard enough to get payment from disingenuous US sources. Imagine the troubles with such companies in another country.Hope this helps!</blockquote>
