Translation of Literary Text from English to Chinese

Published on the May 10, 2025 in Writing & Translation

About this project

Open

I need a skilled translator to translate a literary short story (approximately 3,000–5,000 words) from English to Chinese. The story is rich in emotional depth and nuanced language, so I’m looking for someone with experience in literary translation, capable of preserving both meaning and tone. Accuracy and sensitivity to cultural context are essential. Ideally, I’d like to get started within the next few days. Please feel free to ask questions if you need further clarification.

Project overview

I am an independent writer and literary enthusiast working on a bilingual collection of short stories for readers interested in cross-cultural literature. The purpose of this project is to share contemporary English-language stories with Chinese-speaking audiences. If the collaboration goes well, there will be more stories to translate in the future. Reference materials or style guidelines can be provided upon request.
