What kind of service is Translation?
Translation involves taking your English-written manuscript and converting it to Spanish. The utmost care is taken to ensure that the meaning is the same as the original English version. However, due to the language differences, there might be certain words or phrases that do not have a direct translation and creative license is used to maintain continuity of your story.
Track changes will be used to make the edits on your manuscript.

Editing Services available for Translation:
Developmental Editing
Wrote something in SPANISH? Get a DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT with the same perks as English-written content.
The focus is on the ‘big picture’ issues. These include single word use, phrasing concerns, sentence structure, and readability. Grammar and spelling are only addressed if they stand out. By looking at your manuscript as a whole, the goal is to weed out the confusion, plot holes, or gaps hindering your story. Another goal is to look at your characters. Are they consistently portrayed? Are they interesting to follow? Is the point of view well developed? All this and a reassurance that your style and voice are maintained while keeping in mind your target audience.
Suggestions are made on the manuscript where improvements the story can be made. You will also receive a letter with notes on what I find and to summarize key points to work on. It may be hard to go through the feedback suggested, but the overall goal is to create the best story possible.
Please send me a sample in MS Word when querying for short pieces. Send four pages (1,000 words) for short stories; two to three chapters for longer content.
Rates:

Copyedit
Had something translated in SPANISH? Get a COPYEDIT!
Adding an extra layer to the translation will ensure a tight manuscript. A copyedit will help make sure the translation is clear and flows naturally without any awkward word usage or sentence structure.
The process of refining your content involves correcting simple typing errors, spelling, and punctuation mistakes; resolving problems with language, grammar, style, pacing, and format issues; pointing out incorrect facts and inconsistencies, such as when your antagonist wears a black vest and later a brown one in the same scene; and finding places where your plot or tone shifted between sections. Track changes will be used to make the edits on your manuscript.
