$15-25 USD / hour

Ciao! We are looking for a native Italian with excellent English, possibly living in the UK or in the USA, or having lived there long enough to master the 2nd language. This is a selection for literary translations, for which you'll have to pass a (very short) free test translation, attached. If you have experience with translating novels, even better (but not mandatory). Please have some CV or information ready for employer. You don't need to have a long experience, but a very good Italian and some time to spend on this. Workflow will be 10-15k per week, with a regular contract and steady workflow. We will shortlist 1 or 2 best candidates to put in touch with the publicher. Pleas BID ONLY IF: • You are an individual (no agency) • You are native Italian (parleremo italiano, quindi è molto facile scoprire se non è così) • Your English is almost native, C1/C2. Ideally you either live in UK/USA or have lived in an English speaking country for a few years. • You have the time to translate 10-15k words per week. The future fees will be discussed privately, but we are talking about a serious contract, not 1 cent per word, the project will pair the translator with a proofreader (optional additional task) and it can be a break through your career as a translator, if you are the right person. So... hit us and good luck! Please prepare the translation of the attached test, in case we contact you, plus a CV or a file with your INFOs. Em

I am an Italian native speaker with a good mastery of English thanks to my family background - my mother is American - and my studies. I have a real passion for translation and the challenge that lies in it. I can spend hours translating without even notice time passing.

Hi Em:) I have a lot of experience in ITA-ENG/ENG-ITA translations, as I've worked as a freelancer in that field for years, now. Even when I was still in high school, I used to translate comics and stories for fun, which has lead me to reach a nearly native level as far as English is concerned (obviously, Italian is my native language). I will translate any text. Business, art, creative writing, scripts, medical/legal documents, apps, comics, fanfiction, product descriptions, subtitles, you name it. I work very quickly, but I guarantee that I'll thoroughly review the text before sending it your way: I take great pride in what I do, and I don't like to do things halfway. All my translations are manual. Thank you for reading, I look forward to working with you :)

hello sir Alessia fece un respiro profondo e bussò alla porta della casa sgangherata,Billleistruzioni diei consigli per stare al sicuro le passarono per la testa. La casa sembrava come sel'aspettasse: fatiscente e inquietante. Esattamente il tipo di posto in cui pensava vivessero Damian e gli Inca Boyz. Prima si fosse tolta di mezzo questa festa, prima avrebbe potuto portare Bill Patsmith nel suo letto. Era la sua ricompensa per aver superato un'altra straziante esperienza; almeno questo'cosìche stava guardando esso. Lei e Bill avevano ammazzato il tempo quel pomeriggio, prendendo un gelato e passeggiando per il centro di Denver, tenendosi per mano e scambiandosi baci leggeri e romantici. Si'dimparato molto su di lui. Gli piaceva leggere libri di saggistica, soprattutto sulle navi militari, e odiava le verdure verdi. Si'delencato come molti come lei poteva pensare, chiedere individualmente se gli piacevano. Asparagi, fagiolini, piselli, broccoli, cavoletti di Bruxelles, spinaci, gombo, cavoli, fagioli di Lima. Si'drise e le ha detto no dopo ciascuno di essi. Era così . . . strano. . . era carino. Lei, a sua volta, gli disse cose che non molte persone, a parte la sua famiglia, sapevano di lei. Che mentre amava il colore rosa, si wouldn'tindossarlo. Inoltre, che era affascinata da tutto ciò che aveva a che fare con il Titanic e che sognava di scendere un giorno in un sommergibile verso il luogo di riposo della famigerata nave.

Ciao! Here I am! I do believe I am the person you're looking for and I'll tell you why ;-) I am a native Italian (C1/C2 English). I took my Proficiency and TOEFL in England many years ago and since then, I spent my free time teaching English and translating books (about 20 till today) and all sorts of texts. Furthermore, I have been married to an English man for 10 years and worked together with him translating from EN-IT as well (we are still doing it). So, I do believe I master English, don't you? You require experience in translating novels: I have it and I have no problem whatsoever in passing a free translation test. Ready? Let's go. My CV is ready for you, when you need it, no problem. I do have the time for a workflow of 10-15k words per week. I have always translated books and proofread them, as well. That depends on you, of course. The translation text you added, is ready. Whatelse is to be said? Oh, yes. I do hope you will contract me. I am sure we'll both be satisfied. Tra ... Patrizia

Hello! I'm native Italian and I'm fluent in English. I have lived in England for a month, but I've been studying and practicing the language since primary school. I attended a high school focused on foreign languages and literatures and I took part in some translation projects (the first one was a short novel about a cat wandering through the woods, me and my classmates translated it from latin to English, Italian, French and Spanish). I'm currently majoring at my local University in Foreign Languages, Literatures and Translation. Two years ago I was an intern at the local academic languages centre, where I assisted an English teacher during her lessons and supervised pupils during exams. I'm passionate about my field of study, and I'm focused on the tasks I am given. I put my maximum effort in what I do, both professionally speaking and in my private life. My English level is C1 as well my Spanish and I'm willing t translate the test. Thanks for reading, have a good week!
