French-English Literary Translation

I’m looking for a translator who can move words—and the emotions behind them—from French into natural, elegant English. The texts you’ll handle are strictly literary: novels, short stories, and the occasional essay or memoir excerpt. Your task is to preserve voice, rhythm, and cultural nuance while ensuring the result reads as though it were written in English from the start. Scope • Source language: French • Target language: English • Average assignment: 5,000–10,000 words per batch (ongoing if we’re a good fit) • Desired tone: faithful to the original author’s style, with idiomatic English flow Deliverables 1. Translated manuscript in editable Word or Google Docs format 2. A separate notes page highlighting any untranslatable idioms, cultural references, or terms needing confirmation 3. One round of light revisions after my review Requirements • Proven experience translating literary works from French to English • Native-level English writing skills • Familiarity with CAT tools is welcome but not mandatory; I care more about voice than tags • Ability to meet agreed deadlines and communicate progress clearly If you have a relevant sample—preferably a published excerpt—please include it with your bid. Let’s bring these French stories to an English-speaking audience together.
