I have written a novel in Spanish and self-published it on Amazon after every Spanish publisher passed :( Now I want to try with American and British publishers, so I need to translate the text to English. My English is just not good enough to get to the level I want. It's a 70,000 word novel written in relatively simple Spanish. You can read the first few pages here: [login to view URL]

Hi, Apologies for a high bid. Actually, in my experience, if anyone does this job below 1300 USD than beware of quality. I really would like to take this job up. Plz be assured of quality. I understand that things like Novel/stories when being translated must carry the very theme and emotion and message in new language. Normally 2000 words per day can be translated at a good speed, so it will take approx. 25 days in translation and 5 days for a review read. So total 30 days needed. Thanks Abhishek

Hello, I'm a native Spanish speaker with excellent command of the English language (US English), and have translated a sample from your book: Werner squinted his eyes, searching for the beam of light. He rubbed his eyes and tried again, but the darkness was absolute. He felt a wave of fear. He stepped on the brakes and the truck came to a sudden stop. Shit. On the passenger's seat, Hans woke up and instinctively reached for the holster of his Luger. "What is it?" he grumbled. "Bauer," answered Werner pointing ahead. Hans looked through the windshield. The truck's headlights were turned off and the moon's light was barely cutting through the fog. It was impossible to see anything ahead. "Where's Bauer?" "I don't know. That's the problem!" Hans came to an immediate understanding of the situation. Without Bauer showing the way with the flashlight, it was impossible for the convoy to keep moving. Lange from the SS had made it clear he didn't want any delays and, knowing Lange, he expected somebody to pay for this with his life. He hoped it wouldn't be him. "Shit." Werner activated the handbrake, killed the engine and stepped out of the truck. He looked behind them and noticed through the fog the silhouette of the other trucks following him. "Halt!" he shouted waving his arms. One after the other the engines of the other vehicles were turned off and the Alps came to be in complete silence. In the most complete darkness, Werner felt momentarily disoriented.

Buenos dias. Seria muy contenta traducir su libro. Como puedo ver, mi espanol no es el mehor, pero mi ingles lo es. Leo y comprendo el espanol sin difficolta. Pienso que soy perfecta per el trabajo porque conosco bien las dos idiomas, sobre todo el ingles. My bid was deliberatey low,because I suggest that you start with just a couple of chapters. Together with a summary of the plot, that is often as much as publishers require. I can write that for you if you like. Once you are satisfied with the quality of my work, and you have some interest from a publisher, we can consider translating the rest. It is possible that the publisher would want to use an in-house translator. If you wish to see some of my translation work, let me know and I will forward the first chapter of a book I am working on, from Italian. I look forward to hearing from you, With best wishes, Elizabeth Whitehouse

Hola, soy una estudiante de literatura y filosofía, y he trabajado previamente en traducción de inglés a español y viceversa en textos especializados, técnicos y simples. Comprendo que la traducción literaria es una de las más complejas por la necesidad de mantener el estilo y el ritmo más allá de simplemente convertir de un idioma a otro, y creo que los cursos que ya he llevado sobre traducción y teoría literaria, sumados a mi basta experiencia como traductora, me permitiría completar este proyecto de manera exitosa. Desarrollaré el proyecto en en tres partes, la primera será una lectura completa del texto para familiarizarme con la novela, luego realizaré la traducción del texto en 5 partes para prestarle atención necesaria a cada una, y por ultimo, le mandaré el texto en inglés para su revisión y consecuente corrección de haber alguna. Puedo entregar el texto en varios formatos como word, txt, o InDesing con una diagramación en formato A3 básica. Le invito a escribirme si tuviera cualquier duda sobre el proceso, mi experiencia o los requerimientos. Gracias.

Hi Gabriel, First of all, congratulations on publishing your book as an independent. I have several friends who are writers too, and I know through them how hard it is to move forward in the "publishing jungle" ! I would be happy to work on translating your book as I am native Spanish fully bilingual in English (I now live in the US, married to an American). I have over 10 years of experience in translation in English/French/Spanish, especially business, marketing, website content and essays. I am available immediately, and will be happy to provide high-quality within the deadline you need. Please specify your deadline. Looking forward to your reply, Best regards, David
