Professional literary translation of books and manuscripts
Literary translation requires much more than mastering two languages: it demands narrative sensitivity, cultural knowledge and respect for the original author's voice.
Our professional literary translators work with novels, short stories, biographies, memoirs, essays and poetry, maintaining the tone, rhythm and subtleties of the original text.
Each translation includes a review by a second native professional in the target language.
We work with the most in-demand language pairs: Spanish-English, Spanish-Portuguese, Spanish-French, Spanish-Italian and Spanish-German.
