Professional translators and editors at your service

At Literary Queens, we don’t just offer a pricey translation and leave you dealing with the rest. Here, we are devoted to offering a straightforward solution. Whatever you need, we will provide. Simply turn in your manuscript and choose your target language. We offer professional novel translation as well as professional editing from a language specialist in German, French, and Italian. No need for you to look for editors or proofreaders – and luckily, no need to mediate between them to solve issues in a language you don't even speak! All for a fair rate, too.

We are committed to freeing you from all the hassle. When you turn in your manuscript, you can rest assured it’ll be returned to you in time for our set deadline, ready to publish, no unwanted surprises. And – it’s a shame we even have to add this – absolutely no machine translation!

Whether it's Dark Romance or RomCom, YA, Fantasy or mystery thrillers – the right literary translator for your genre

At Literary Queens, we make sure to pair you with the translator and editor YOU need for your style. We don’t just translate word for word. Instead, we always match your writing style with those Queens who are the best fit to transport your uniquely written novel into a new language.

Whether it’s German, French, or Italian – all our Queens are expert translators and editors for their respective market and, like different authors, they all have their unique translation language.

I absolutely love working with Literary Queens translations. The entire crew is top-notch, professional, responsible, thorough, and so so kind. They take care of everything so I can relax and enjoy the process. They answer all of my questions and always go above and beyond. They found me German bloggers and reviewers and have helped to make each launch a far greater success than it would have been if I was doing it on my own--and readers love the translated versions of my books! I feel very lucky to have found them and would one hundred percent recommend them to any author looking to have their books translated.
