Experienced Editor Needed for Revised Translations of Turkish Books

Job ID: 37099386

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

We are a publishing company that initially had two Turkish psychological self-help books translated into English by a professional translator. Unfortunately, we were not fully satisfied with the outcome. As a solution, we used ChatGPT for a second translation. While this new translation is more to our liking, it requires a human touch to ensure the prose flows beautifully for native English readers.

What we need from you:

1. Review both the initial human and ChatGPT translations, then edit for fluency, grammar, punctuation, and style.
2. Provide feedback on any sections needing retranslation or further clarification.

Requirements:

1. Native English speaker with excellent command over the language.
2. Proven experience in editing literary content.
3. Familiarity with Turkish culture and language is a plus but not a must.

If you believe you fit this job, please provide your previous editing samples and application; and also please provide an estimated timeframe for completing a 100k-word document (which is the total amount of words of the two books).

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to collaborating with a talented individual who can polish and refine our translations for an English-speaking audience!
