Translate English Sci-Fi Novel
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have completed a science-fiction novel for adult readers in English and need it rendered into native, idiomatic Spanish without losing the futuristic tone, technical jargon, or character voice. The manuscript sits at roughly 79,000 words.
You will read the original file (MS Word) and deliver a Spanish version that feels as though it was first written in that language. Consistency in terminology for technology, star-ship components, and invented terms is critical, so creating and maintaining a brief glossary as you work will help both of us keep track.
I will handle layout later, so the focus is on linguistic accuracy and style. Please preserve chapter breaks, scene separators, and any inline formatting such as italics. A light proofread for typos in the translation is expected before handing it back.
Deliverables:
• Complete Spanish manuscript in .docx, mirroring the original structure
• A small two-column glossary (English → Spanish) of key terms and invented words
• One revision cycle for tweaks after my review
If you have samples of previous fiction translations—especially science-fiction—feel free to share a chapter or link so I can gauge style fit.
