FOR INDIE AUTHORS
Literary Translation for Independent Authors
You’ve put your heart into writing your book. If you’ve ever thought about sharing your stories with readers beyond the English-speaking world, I’d love to help you take that next step.
I’m a professional literary translator and published author with over 20 years of experience and more than 80 translated books. I work with established Greek publishing houses, but I also welcome direct collaborations with independent authors who want to bring their work to Greek readers.
I know how much your characters, your story, and your unique writing style mean to you. My job isn’t simply to translate your words. It’s to make sure your story feels just as natural, engaging, and alive in Greek as it does in English.
What I Can Offer
English-to-Greek Literary Translation
Professional, carefully crafted translations of short stories, novellas, novels, and book series, with particular attention to voice, dialogue, atmosphere, and the small details that make your writing yours.
A Personal Approach
You’ll be working directly with me, not an agency. We can discuss your book, your expectations, and any particular elements you’d like me to pay attention to. I believe good communication is just as important as good translation.
Greek Edition Support
If you’re planning to self-publish your translated book, I can also help with Greek book descriptions, title adaptation, proofreading, and EPUB preparation. We can discuss which additional services your project needs.
Long-Term Collaborations
Do you have a series or several books you’d like to introduce to Greek readers? I’m always happy to discuss ongoing collaborations. Working together across multiple titles also helps maintain consistency in terminology, character voices, and the world you’ve created.
How It Works
1. Tell me about your book.
Send me a few details about your project, including its genre, approximate word count, and a short synopsis. A sample of the manuscript is always helpful.
2. Let’s discuss the possibilities.
I’ll review the information and provide a personalized quote, along with an estimated timeline and a clear description of what’s included.
3. We agree on the details.
Before our work begins, we’ll agree on the scope, payment schedule, delivery dates, and terms for using the translation.
4. Your story finds its Greek voice.
I’ll work on your translation with the same attention and care I bring to the books I translate for established publishers.
Affordable, Without Compromising Quality
I understand that independent publishing involves real financial decisions, and that translating a book into another language is an investment.
That’s why I offer personalized quotes based on the length and requirements of each project, with the possibility of milestone payments for larger works.
My aim is to make professional literary translation more accessible without compromising the quality your book deserves.
Your Book. Your Rights. Your Journey.
This is a direct, fee-based translation service, not a publishing contract. You remain in control of your original work, your publishing decisions, and the revenue from your Greek edition. The rights to use the completed translation will be clearly established in our agreement.
Whether you have a short story, a standalone novel, or an entire series in mind, I’d be happy to hear about it.
