As an indie author, one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is reaching readers outside of English-speaking markets. Translation has always felt too expensive and complicated—until I found ScribeShadow.
To date, it has been a complete game-changer for me. My books are now available in multiple international markets, and readers who never had access before are devouring my stories in their own languages. The response has been incredible.
And here’s the best part: you can try it at half the cost. Use my code ROMANCEBOOKS to save 50% off your first month (cannot be used with Publisher or higher subscription tiers).

How ScribeShadow Helped Me Reach New Readers
I’ve already used ScribeShadow to take several of my books into new markets, and the experience has been very successful.
Hitting bestseller lists in English was exciting, but hearing from readers in Germany, Italy, and Brazil—readers who are now experiencing my stories for the very first time—has been even more rewarding.
ScribeShadow didn’t just make my books accessible. It helped me open brand new revenue streams that continue to grow.
Pricing, Credits, and ROI
ScribeShadow runs on a credit system with multiple tiers depending on how much you want to translate.
Basic and Indie tiers are perfect for one or two novels a month, while larger plans like the Polyglot tier are available for authors working on box sets or higher output.
For me, the investment paid off quickly. Translations brought in new readers and opened markets I never could have reached otherwise.
