Spanish Translation for Sci-Fi Novel
Budget: ₹37,500 – ₹75,000 INR
I have a fast-paced science-fiction thriller, currently in English, that needs to come alive for a Spanish-speaking audience. The manuscript sits somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 words and is headed straight for publication, so I need a translator who can do more than swap words—I need someone who can preserve atmosphere, tension, and the author’s distinctive voice while ensuring idiomatic, publication-ready Spanish.
What I’m looking for
• Deep familiarity with contemporary Spanish (neutral or lightly Latin-American preferred) and an ear for genre fiction cadence.
• Proven experience translating novels or novellas, ideally in speculative or thriller genres.
• An eye for consistency in terminology, especially around invented tech, military jargon, and futuristic slang.
• A polished, press-ready final file delivered in Word or Google Docs, complete with any translator queries or cultural notes inline.
For quality control, I’ll send a short passage once we start; your treatment of that sample will set the tone for the rest of the project. The full draft follows immediately on approval, with intermittent check-ins so we can iron out questions while the story is still fresh.
When the work is done, I expect:
1. The fully translated manuscript.
2. A separate sheet of key terms or inventions with your chosen renderings.
3. A brief note on any passages that required adaptation for cultural clarity.
If this sounds like your kind of mission, let’s talk timelines and get this thriller ready for Spanish-speaking readers.
