Multilingual Fiction Manuscript Proofreading

Job ID: 39937501

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

I’m preparing my completed fiction manuscript for publication and need a sharp, detail-oriented linguist to give each translated version a final polish. The story has already been professionally rendered into Spanish, French and German in a formal tone; now I want every sentence read line-by-line to eliminate typos, grammar slips and any subtle inconsistencies that may have appeared during translation while preserving the original voice.

You will receive:
• A clean Word file for each language.
• A short reference sheet with recurring names, places and stylistic choices.

I expect back:
• A fully marked-up document for each language using Track Changes (or an equivalent system) so I can see every adjustment.
• A final, clean publication-ready version.
• A concise note summarising any segments where you had to do more than straightforward proofreading because the translation felt unclear or culturally off.

Accuracy, respect for nuance and an ear for natural, native phrasing are essential. If you have experience editing formal fiction or working with multilingual manuscripts, I look forward to your expertise.
