Spanish to English Horror Story Translation

Job ID: 40161112

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I have a Spanish mystery-thriller of just under 5,000 words that needs to come alive in fluent, engaging English. Every clue, red-herring, and plot twist must retain its punch, so I’m after a thoughtful, manual translation—no CAT tools or AI shortcuts. The finished text should feel as though it were originally written in English, with the pacing and suspense fully intact.

Once we agree on terms, I’ll share the full manuscript. You’ll return a polished Word or Google Docs file, proofread and ready for publication or submission.

Deliverables
1. Complete English manuscript, mirrored formatting
2. One revision pass for any minor tweaks after my review

Acceptance criteria
• Suspense and tone faithfully preserved
• Dialogue sounds natural to native readers
• Clean grammar, spelling, and flow throughout

When you reply, please tell me about similar Spanish-to-English fiction you’ve handled, include any samples or links you’re free to share, and give me a realistic turnaround time. The schedule is flexible, but I’d like a clear deadline we can both rely on. Looking forward to collaborating on this translation.
