Localize Bestseller Manuscript to French
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I have an unreleased manuscript from a New York Times best-selling author that now needs to live naturally in French. The text is a fictional story written in a relaxed, conversational tone, and the author’s voice is everything—punchy dialogue, quick humor, and plenty of pop-culture nods. Many of those references will land flat if they stay in their original form, so I’m counting on you to swap in French-friendly equivalents (or add a brief contextual tweak) while keeping the pace and wit intact.
Deliverables
• Complete French manuscript with all cultural references smoothly adapted
• A short change log noting any sections where you made significant localization choices or inserted context
I’ll review a sample chapter first, then green-light the remainder once the tone feels right. If you love contemporary fiction and can hear the rhythm of casual English conversation in French, I’d love to collaborate.
