# Literary translation

[Website page](https://verlineo.cc/services/literary-translation) · en

This document reflects the public website. Starting rates are not a final quotation. Agreements for the individual project take precedence.

Fiction, essays, scripts and authored texts with attention to voice, rhythm and cultural context.

We discuss genre, readership, authorial voice and the purpose of the translation. For a longer manuscript, an agreed short excerpt helps establish the approach, adaptation level, names and stylistic decisions.

## Our approach

We keep names, cultural references and recurring expressions consistent. Publication editing and preparation of a publisher’s layout are agreed separately from basic translation.

## Deliverables

- Translation of the agreed text
- Consistent names and cultural references
- Comments on passages requiring an author’s decision
- A file ready for the next editing stage

## Starting prices

200 RUB / 2.2 USD / 2 EUR · 250 words

Starting prices for common language pairs. The final quote depends on the pair, subject, volume, layout and urgency. Native-speaker translation, notarisation, apostilles and delivery are quoted separately. We confirm the total, taxes and deadline before work starts. Currency equivalents are indicative prices, not live exchange rates.

Turnaround: by agreement. Turnaround is indicative. The final deadline and scope are confirmed after reviewing the materials.

## Formats

DOCX, EPUB, PDF

## Questions and answers

### Can we start with an excerpt?

Yes. Send a passage and describe its audience. We agree the scope, price and purpose of the sample before starting; it helps establish the voice for the full manuscript.

### How do I get a final price and deadline?

Send the complete file, language pair, purpose and preferred deadline. After reviewing it, we confirm volume, review scope, layout and quotation. Work starts after agreement.

### How do I send files and receive the result?

Use the website enquiry or Telegram bot. We work online and deliver the agreed format. Paper documents and courier arrangements are discussed separately.
