Translate French Thriller Novel
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I have completed a French-language Roman—more precisely, a thriller psychologique—and I’m ready to bring it to an English-speaking audience. The project is a full literary translation, de français à l’anglais, so I need someone who can carry over mood, pacing, and subtle character nuance rather than just converting words.
The manuscript is roughly 80,000 words. You’ll receive it as a clean Word document and, in return, I expect the entire text in fluent, polished English that preserves the suspenseful tone. Please keep chapter breaks, italics, and section dividers exactly as in the source file.
Deliverables
• Complete English manuscript in .docx
• A short translator’s note outlining any unavoidable shifts in meaning or idiom
I’m happy to answer questions about plot, setting, or terminology along the way to ensure the final work reads like it was originally written in English. If literary thrillers are your specialty and you have samples to show, I’d love to see them.
