Book publication - Lithuanian Language Gems
Donation protected
Greetings from Lithuania!
I'm thrilled to share with you an exciting project close to my heart. As a native Lithuanian, I've always felt the richness of our language, and now, I'm embarking on a journey to bring that vibrancy to life in a beautifully illustrated book of our most commonly used and humorous phrases.
What makes this project truly special is the collaboration with independent illustrators and editors, championing the spirit of small businesses. Together, we're crafting a book that not only showcases the uniqueness of Lithuanian expressions but also supports talented individuals in our creative community.
Self-publishing this book is a labor of love, and I'm reaching out to you for support to make it a reality. Your contribution will play a vital role in funding the creative process, ensuring that the illustrations vividly capture the essence of each phrase, and the editing guarantees accurate English translations for a broader audience.
If you spent 20 CHF/EUR or more, I will be in touch with you via GoFundMe portal, making sure you will receive a published book via post.
Once completed, the book will find its way to the global stage, being available for purchase on the Amazon Book Shop online. This isn't just about publishing a book; it's a cultural exchange, a way to share the intricacies of Lithuanian thinking with the world. I expect the book the see the light in the mid spring of 2024.
Here's how your support will be utilized:
- Creative Illustrations: Engaging artists to visually bring each phrase to life with creativity and authenticity. The picture you are seeing at this campaign was made by one of the illustrators, Putri (https://www.behance.net/PutriFebriana)
- Editing Perfection: Ensuring the accuracy of English translations so that the essence of our expressions isn't lost in translation.
- Final Book Preparation: Covering the costs of formatting, printing, and preparing the book for publication.
- Shipping and Handling: Making it possible to send a copy of the finished book to generous backers like yourself.
Join me in this adventure to illuminate the charm of Lithuanian language and culture. Your support isn't just a contribution; it's a cultural bridge connecting our unique expressions with the world. Let's make this book a reality and share the heart of Lithuania!
Yours,
