Gustavo V.
Spanish expert. Proofreader, translator, editor.
Fact: Spanish is now the second most spoken language in the world and the market is growing. Bad grammar/syntax may be subtle, but as atrocious as bad breath on a first date. Same applies to translations! It is not enough to be a native speaker —the best translators are also accomplished writers. I am a published author at Penguin/Random House. I have more than 30 published books with other publishers in Mexico and the USA. I can translate, write and embellish compelling, page-turner non-fiction in Spanish for adults, young adults and children. I have successfully written books for Upwork clients who have seen their titles go to #1 in the Amazon kindle store in their respective category. I am completely bilingual, contributor to both Spanish and English language magazines. I am a certified translator with +25 years of experience. I have worked for important names in the literary world. Ask me ;-) If you got a bad Spanish translation, I can solve your problem. Amazon and iTunes are brimming with disgracefully translated novels. And if you want to translate your fiction to Spanish and haven´t done it, I urge you to hire a skilled translator with experience in Creative Writing. I am such person, and I will do it right since the first time. As a proofreader, I will deliver your manuscript in perfect Spanish, or evaluate your (probably) machine-made translation to tell you why it´s bad and what you need to make it right. I can also write compelling and well-researched non-fiction in English and Spanish. Feel free to check samples of my work. And do not hesitate to contact me for all your Spanish language needs.
