Fluent Literary Translation Needed -- 2
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
I have a 10-50-page work of literature that must be translated with absolute accuracy while retaining its narrative voice, rhythm, and nuance. The finished text should read as if it were originally written in the target language, conveying every emotion, cultural reference, and stylistic flourish of the source material.
What I need from you:
• A polished, publication-ready translation delivered in an editable format (DOCX or equivalent) plus a clean PDF copy.
• Light explanatory notes only where wording, idioms, or cultural markers require clarification.
• A short message outlining your relevant literary translation experience and your estimated turnaround time for this page count.
Because the tone is creative rather than technical, I value translators who can balance fidelity with elegance. Familiarity with contemporary fiction, dialogue subtleties, and descriptive prose will be a strong plus.
Please let me know when you can start, any similar projects you have completed, and how you tackle consistency and proofreading in your workflow. I look forward to collaborating on a translation that feels fully alive in its new language.
