Spanish Fairy Tale Localization
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
I have a complete fairy-tale manuscript that now needs to live and breathe in Spanish for a teen and adult audience. The plot is fixed; what I need from you is a creative yet faithful localization that preserves the magic while sounding effortlessly natural to contemporary readers.
At this point I’m flexible on tone (formal, casual, humorous) and on whether the voice should feel traditional or modern, so your professional guidance will be welcome. The same goes for cultural touchstones—include them only where they truly enrich the story and let me know when something might jar.
Source text and word count will be shared once we agree to work together. You’ll receive it in Word and I’d like the following back:
• A polished Spanish manuscript in .docx with Track Changes
• A clean, final-layout PDF
• Brief translator notes where cultural or idiomatic choices required extra thought
Please maintain consistent character voices, adapt idioms intelligently, and flag any passages that could use extra cultural context. If you’ve localized YA or adult fantasy before and have an ear for both Spain and Latin American usage, I’d love to hear how you would approach this.
First draft within two weeks, followed by one revision round after feedback. Credit can be given on publication, or you may remain anonymous if preferred.
