Short fiction book translation from Spanish -> English

£20-1500 GBP

£20-1500 GBP

Paid on delivery
I am trying to get quotes for translating a short fiction book written in Spanish into English. The translation should be done by an author (needs to have published some short stories, or novels or have some experience translating fiction). It's written in Castilian-Spanish. No tight dead lines, you might take the time you need, and ask as many questions you need. The work extension is about 35000 words, some short stories have a different narrative format (faxes, emails) and a couple of stories are written in SMS alike mode (brb, GTFO, etc.), so it makes sense you are familiarised with Spanish slang. Book is to be published solely in Amazon Kindle. You may quote a final price, or get royalties, whatever you prefer. The actual book is attached - it's Creative Commons, so it's meant to be shared. If you require more info, let me know. Raul

Hello Raul! I'm a native English translator that's been translating screenplays, novels, websites and various articles for the UN from Spanish to English. I'm currently collaborating with 'New Age Publishers' in translating novels from Spanish and Portuguese to English. I studied 'Modern Iberian and Latin American Regional Studies' at University College London which included Spanish literature and language as well as translation theory and studied 'Filología Hispánica' at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I am very familiar with Spanish idioms and slang as I've been living in Spain for many years now. I can have the book translated within 30 days hopefully and we can negotiate a price as I'm very interested in working on this project. Please find copies of my CV in both English and Spanish in my portfolio and I look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Zahrah

I am a native Spanish speaker, have been trained in a professional business capacity, and hold an advanced degree in international relations. I have conducted many formal, academic, and legal translation projects in Washington, D.C. Though your particular job does not sound difficult, it is tedious, and requires attention to detail and quality. I have conducted and even taught work of this nature in a consulting environment for multilateral clients. The quality of my work is much higher than the industry average I hope you will consider my application.

Hello I will gladly translate the book for you, I lived in both countries for some years, I don't have anything published yet, but I am always reading and writing in both languages. My father was a well known dramaturg and wrote several plays (Felipe Santander), so he always inculcated a reading and writing culture by persistent instruction. I look forward to working with you. Thank you!
