Hello! I'm a Hungarian native with 10+ years of experience in translation & proof-reading, and I have to say, this is my dream project! I so rarely run into literary translation projects, though that's my passion.
I'm fluent in English and have been doing translation work for over a decade and I have experience translating literary works. I fully translated the first book of Lynn Flewelling's popular fantasy book series, Nightrunner, which is about 125k words. I also translated short stories and self-published novels of various lengths, mostly between 20-50k.
The roughly 6 weeks time schedule is rather tight, especially with proofreading, but I believe I can make it work!
I am a hobby novelist and author myself, thanks to which I can ensure that my translations are not only accurate but also smooth and flowing in the target language. Thanks to my creative approach, I can guarantee my translation is going to read natural to my fellow natives. My grammar and punctuation is flawless in both languages.
For this project, I can offer a friendly $0.025/word quote. I can start immediately, I'm ready to sign an NDA and I always provide invoices after payments. See my proposed milestones below.
I'd be more than happy to provide you with a free sample! Just send me a paragraph or two on chat, and I'll gladly translate that for you for free. I can also send samples from my previous literary translations.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your time,
-Bettina
