English ↔ Italian Book Translation Services
If you write romance or commercial fiction and want your story to feel just as powerful in Italian, you’re in the right place. I deliver human, voice-true translations that keep your tone, emotions, and market appeal intact—backed by my experience as a USA Today & International Bestselling romance author.
Why work with me
I’m a native Italian speaker (based in Italy) with advanced English and deep genre knowledge. I understand tropes, pacing, and what readers expect—so your book doesn’t just get translated, it lands. You’ll always know the plan, the price, and the delivery window.
How the process works
I start by reading your manuscript to absorb voice, rhythm, and intent. Then I translate—carefully, line by line—followed by a full stylistic revision and an in-house copy line and proofread. If you want an extra set of eyes, I can arrange external proofreading. After delivery, I’m available for agreed touch-ups so your book launches exactly as you envisioned.
Rates & what to expect
My rate is €0.012/word and includes translation plus an in-house proofread. You get a ready-to-publish manuscript; formatting is not included.
Payment
Once we sign, you’ll receive a PayPal invoice. You can pay 100% upfront or 50% upfront + 50% before delivery. Work begins after the first payment arrives. (If you sign a translation contract for a series, you’ll receive a separate invoice for each book. When Book 1 is delivered, I’ll issue the invoice for Book 2, and so on throughout the series.)
Contracts & price protection
Prefer to book a whole series? Great—your contract rate is locked for the contract’s duration, even if my standard fees rise later. If you go book by book, I’ll let you know if and when updated rates apply; introductory fees don’t carry over to new contracts.
Discounts
New here? Enjoy 30% off your first project.
Returning clients receive 10% off, and if a referral books with me, you get an extra 10% on your next invoice.
(Discounts on a single project are capped at 20%, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Referral discount applies after your referral signs.)
