If you're an editor or publisher looking for someone who treats a translation as a creative act — not just a linguistic exercise — you've found your person. Over the past three decades, I've built my career around one conviction: a translated book should feel as if it were written in the target language from the very first page. That means honoring the author's voice, rhythm, and intent — not just their words. Since joining Upwork in 2017, I've specialized in book translations across genres, from literary fiction to technical texts, always delivering work that resonates with Latin American readers. My Approach to Translation I work with AI tools where they add efficiency, but every project I deliver is shaped by human judgment. The nuances that define a great translation — cultural context, tonal consistency, idiomatic flow — still require a trained eye and decades of experience. That's what I bring to every manuscript. I invest significant time in research: terminology, cultural references, regional sensitivities. The result is a translation that doesn't just read correctly — it reads naturally. Editing & Proofreading Whether you're refining an AI-generated draft or polishing a finished manuscript, I offer meticulous editing and proofreading services. I identify inconsistencies, sharpen vocabulary, and elevate the overall quality of the text — always staying true to the author's original intent. What Sets Me Apart 30+ years of experience in literary and editorial translation Deep specialization in book-length projects — I understand the commitment they require Background in Computer Science, which gives me an edge with technical and specialized texts Fluent in the cultural landscape of Latin America — I don't just translate for the region, I write for its readers Reliable, deadline-driven, and respectful of your editorial vision Languages & Specializations English → Neutral Latin American Spanish Fiction, literary non-fiction, and technical texts Let's talk about your project.
