Mystery Short Story into Spanish
Budget: $8 – $15 AUD
I have written a mystery/thriller short story that sits just under 15,000 words and I now need it brought to life for Spanish-speaking readers. I’m looking for a native Spanish translator who can preserve the tension, pacing, and voice of the original while making the prose feel as though it were crafted in Spanish from the start.
You’ll need to balance accuracy with creativity—snappy dialogue, suspenseful cliff-hangers, and subtle clues must all land naturally in Spanish. If a cultural reference needs adjusting, please flag it or suggest an elegant alternative instead of forcing a literal rendering.
Deliverables are straightforward:
• A polished, proof-read Spanish manuscript in the same formatting I provide (Word or Google Docs).
• Optional brief notes on any terms you felt required creative adaptation.
Confidentiality is important; all rights to the work remain with me. When you reply, let me know about any previous fiction—especially crime or suspense—you’ve translated and your estimated turnaround time. I’m eager to collaborate and see this story resonate with a new audience.
