Looking for a Literary Translator (English → Latvian) – Funded by KKF
Budget: €1,500 – €3,000 EUR
I am looking for an experienced literary translator (English → Latvian) for the historical fiction novel My Grandmother’s Shadow (over 100,000 words). The book is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Grandmothers-Shadow-heartbreaking-unputdownable-historical/dp/B0CKNS6VK1
.
A Latvian publisher suggested exploring funding support through the Latvian State Culture Capital Foundation (KKF). This means the translator’s fee would be covered by the KKF program, not by me. I am looking for a translator who can help translate the novel into Latvian and, if possible, assist or advise with the funding application.
The manuscript is historical fiction and requires careful attention to era-appropriate tone, character voice, and narrative rhythm. Stylistic sensitivity and natural flow in Latvian are essential.
Requirements:
Proven experience in literary translation (English → Latvian)
Experience with novels or published translations
Willingness to participate in the KKF funding process
