Translate Sci-Fi Sample Pages
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m preparing a three-page excerpt from my fiction manuscript, “1492 – The Relativity of Tomorrow,” for literary agents and need it translated with the same adventurous, thrilling tone that drives the original science-fiction narrative.
What I’m after
• A faithful, polished translation of the full three pages, preserving pacing, atmosphere, and character voice.
• Light explanatory notes or a short glossary wherever a term, invented concept, or cultural reference might puzzle a new reader.
• A clean, ready-to-submit text file (DOCX or Google Doc) plus the annotated version if you create one.
Style & voice
The story blends fast-moving space exploration with historical twists. Action scenes must feel immediate, while the speculative terminology should read naturally—think vivid yet concise prose, not literal word-for-word renderings.
Currently setting this sample trial of a 3-page review.
Ideal fit
You have solid literary translation experience, preferably in science fiction, and enjoy bringing imaginative worlds to life without losing nuance.
Timeline
I’d like the finished files within one week of acceptance, with room for one round of minor adjustments if needed.
If this sounds like your specialty, let me know how you’d approach the task and share a brief sample of previous fiction work.
