About this project
writing-translation / proofreading-1
Open
I’m looking for a Spanish speaker who is fluent in English to proofread and edit a 25,000 word Spanish ebook.
The book was originally written in English and translated into Spanish using AI. I need someone to correct and polish the Spanish, while using the original English manuscript as a reference.
Scope of work:
You will be responsible for:
- Correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax
- Fixing unnatural or awkward Spanish phrasing and mistranslations
Note: This is NOT a translation project. This is NOT developmental editing or a complete rewrite. I am simply looking for proofreading/copyediting of an existing Spanish translation.
Requirements:
- Spanish speaker
- Strong English comprehension
- Previous experience proofreading/editing Spanish
I will provide both the English original and Spanish translation for comparison.
Budget:
Fixed budget: $90
This is my maximum budget and is non-negotiable. Please only apply if you are comfortable completing the full 25,000 word manuscript within this budget.
There is no urgent deadline, so I can offer reasonable flexibility on delivery time.
Before hiring, I may ask shortlisted candidates to proofread a short sample from the actual manuscript so I can assess the quality of the editing before proceeding.
When applying, please include:
- Your native language
- Your experience with Spanish proofreading/editing
- One relevant sample or previous work (optional)
I am looking for natural, professional Spanish, not simply automated grammar correction.
Please do not apply if you cannot work within the stated budget.
