I have completed a work of fiction and now need a polished literary translation of several key chapters. The source text is currently in Microsoft Word; I will share the exact sections once we agree on the collaboration.

Target language: I am open to Spanish, French, or German—whichever is your native tongue. Native-level fluency is essential because I want the original voice, rhythm, and nuance of the story to carry over seamlessly.

Scope
• Translate the selected chapters (roughly 15,000 words in total).
• Maintain character voice, cultural references, and narrative flow.
• Return the translation in the same Word layout so my editor can slot it back into the manuscript without re-formatting.

What will make the work complete
1. A clean, final Word document with the translated chapters.
2. A brief translator’s note flagging any idioms or references that required adaptation.
3. One revision round after I review the draft.

If you are an experienced literary translator whose first language is Spanish, French, or German and you enjoy bringing novels to life for new audiences, I’d love to see a short sample of your previous work and hear how quickly you could start.
