Translate Tamil Fantasy Novel

I have completed a full-length Tamil fantasy novel with a dark, serious tone, and I now need it rendered into natural, publish-ready English. More than literal word-for-word accuracy, I care about keeping every character’s voice and growth intact, so the translated version must feel as if it was originally written in English while still carrying the emotional weight and complexity of the Tamil text. The manuscript is already clean and final in Tamil; you will receive it in DOCX. I am looking for a translator who can: • Produce an English manuscript of roughly the same length and pacing, capturing the novel’s brooding atmosphere and, above all, each protagonist’s nuanced development. • Flag cultural references or idioms that may need adaptation, suggesting smooth equivalents rather than dropping them. • Deliver chapter-by-chapter files so I can review tone consistency as we go, followed by a single consolidated DOCX once complete. • Provide a brief style note (a page or so) explaining any significant shifts you made for flow or clarity. I value human craftsmanship—no machine-generated drafts, please. If you have prior samples of literary or fantasy translation, feel free to share a short excerpt so I can gauge fit. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right match and will be responsive with feedback throughout the process.
