Spanish Fairy-Tale Localization
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
I have an original English fairy-tale that now needs to live and breathe in Spanish. Rather than a literal translation, I’m after a full-blooded localization that preserves the magic, humor, and rhythm of the story so Spanish-speaking readers feel it was written for them from the very first line.
The manuscript runs under 4,000 words and includes a few rhymed passages plus distinct character voices. Once we start, I’ll provide the Word file and highlight any sections where playful turns of phrase or cultural references appear; feel free to suggest creative equivalents or fresh imagery that captures the same spirit.
What I need from you:
• A polished Spanish version, formatted in Word or Google Docs, ready for print or audio narration
• A concise translator’s note flagging any spots where meaning shifted, rhyme was re-crafted, or a cultural reference was adapted
If you love children’s literature, fantasy, or lyrical storytelling and can balance fidelity with flair, we’ll be a great fit. A brief sample of past work—or an excerpt showing how you handle tone and rhyme—will help me choose quickly. First draft one week after kickoff is ideal, with a short revision loop to follow.
