Non-Fiction Literary Translation Needed
Budget: $20,000 – $50,000 USD
I need a skilled document translator who feels at home with literary, non-fiction texts. The manuscript blends narrative storytelling with factual content, so accuracy alone is not enough—the voice, rhythm, and subtle nuances all have to carry over naturally into the target language.
Here’s what I’ll be looking for:
• A complete, polished translation delivered in an editable file (Word or Google Docs).
• Consistent terminology and tone throughout.
• Light comments explaining any culturally specific choices or passages that required creative adaptation.
If you have previous experience translating memoirs, essays, or narrative non-fiction, please include a short sample or reference. Turnaround and word count can be discussed once we connect, but meeting agreed deadlines is essential. I’m ready to provide the source file and be available for quick clarifications so the process stays smooth.
