I have a complete Arabic novel that I want to bring to an English-speaking, general-audience readership. The book contains no specialised terminology or culturally dense references, so the focus is on conveying voice, mood and rhythm rather than providing academic footnotes. Your task is to craft a smooth, idiomatic English version that reads like it was originally written in English while remaining true to the spirit of the original Arabic prose. Along the way, please flag any passages whose nuance might need quick clarification so we can decide together whether a brief translator’s note is appropriate. Deliverables • Finished manuscript in editable Word or Google Docs format • A short list of any sections you feel need extra context for future editing or marketing purposes When you reply, include: • A sample (one to two pages) of fiction you have already translated from Arabic • Your estimated timeline for completing a full-length novel translation I can supply the manuscript immediately once we lock in the schedule. I look forward to collaborating with someone who is as passionate about storytelling as I am.
