Literary Translation
Literary works pose the biggest challenge for translators. As novels, short stories, and poems often embody the culture of the setting or country of origin, translators must effectively convey cultural nuances and subtleties of meaning in the target language. Book translations must also capture the voice of the author, the very quality that makes a literary work unique.
Authors rely on TranslationServices.com’s skilled team of translators, who have years of experience providing accurate and nuanced translations of books, essay collections, and other literary works in dozens of languages. We can help you expand your readership to a global audience.

Seeking to reach a wider international readership, I approached TranslationServices.com to translate my romance novel from the original German into English. My goal was to achieve a translation that captured the nuance of the material and stayed true to my authorial voice, and the translation and subsequent editing service did just that. I am super happy with the high quality of the German to English translation and with the efforts and helpful comments of my English editor.
