Have you written a book and are looking for a Spanish or Italian book translator to translate it? Would you like to break down linguistic and cultural barriers and allow everyone to read your work while preserving the same linguistic nuances as if they were reading the original?

You’ve come to the right place! I’m Eleonora Monoscalco, a book translator and interpreter with many years of experience, over 50 positive reviews, and an attestation of quality and professional qualification as a translator and interpreter in accordance with Italian Law No.4/2013.

Why should you hire a literary translator to translate your book?

• You would like your book to reach an international audience

• You want your message to be conveyed with the same meaning and linguistic and cultural nuances as in the target language

• You wrote a book that is worth reading, both in your home country and abroad

• The languages in question are as follows: Italian, English, and/or Spanish

My book translations service IS NOT FOR YOU if… 

• You’re not interested in reaching an international audience with your book

• You’re not very confident in your book and don’t think it’s worth having it translated

• You’d rather use AI to translate the book at a low cost, even though the quality of the translation will be highly questionable, and the target audience won’t read the book because they’ll realize you haven’t invested in your project and have sold them a low-quality product 

Why should you hire an interpreter for your book launch?

• • You would like your book to reach an international audience

• • You would like the author and the audience to be able to communicate without any language and/or cultural barriers

• • You want the author’s message to retain the same nuances and linguistic-cultural meanings as in the target language

• • You’d like to promote a book that is worth reading, both in your country and abroad

• • The languages involved in the project are as follows: Italian, English, and/or Spanish

 My book interpreting service IS NOT FOR YOU if…

• The author is Italian, and there are no foreigners in the audience

• The book being presented is of little international interest, and it makes no sense to invest in promoting it in other countries

• You prefer that only those who understand English attend the presentation, thereby excluding more than half of the potential readership and preventing almost everyone from asking questions because they feel uncomfortable doing so in English

In what kind of settings have you worked as a text and books translator?

I have been working as a translator since 2020, both in the publishing industry and in other fields (especially medicine, psychology, and websites).

In what kind of settings have you worked as a literary interpreter?

• Book presentations
• Interviews with authors

Have you ever translated a book?

Yes, I translated a psychology book from English into Spanish, my ‘almost’ native language. The book is “Healing the Fractured Mind” by the renowned psychiatrist Felicity De Zulueta. Here is the review I received from Manuel Esbert, director of the publishing house Psimática Editorial, S.L. (Spain), with whom I collaborated:

 

What other projects have you worked on as an Italian translator?

As a translator, I have worked on a variety of projects: I served as an in-house translator in the medical and pharmaceutical fields at a well-known CRO in Milan and at Freeda Media. In addition, I have handled numerous English-to-Italian and English-to-Spanish translations as a freelancer, particularly in the medical and psychological fields, as well as for websites and personal documents.

What interpreting and book translations services do you offer?

• Written translation of your book from English to Italian, English to Spanish, Spanish to Italian, and Italian to Spanish

• Written editing and proofreading of your book already translated from English or Spanish to Italian

• Consecutive interpreting during the book presentation and/or interview with the book’s author

• Simultaneous interpreting during the book presentation and/or interview with the book’s author

• Customized interpreting and book translation services tailored to your needs

Will you use AI to translate my book?

Generally, I prefer to avoid it, but I’ll leave the decision up to you: if you’re on a tight budget, we can use AI to generate a draft, which I’ll then edit and polish according to best translation practices.

However, if it’s a highly creative book, I don’t recommend using AI. On the other hand, if it’s a technical book, we can certainly use it as a rough draft, which I’ll then refine by eliminating the ‘robotic’, unnatural tone, ensuring a correct, fluent output.

How much does your book translation or editorial interpreting service cost?

I’ll provide you with a personalized, no-obligation quote based on your project or event.

There is no single rate, as the fee varies depending on the event being organized, the length and type of text to be translated, the language pair, the number of event participants, the type of interpreting or translation requested, and many other details.

My rates are fully in line with those of the Italian market, and I guarantee excellent value for money.
