Gemma Benavent

Gemma Benavent – Translator

English to Spanish. 11 books translated for various publishing houses (romance, sci-fi, thriller and horror) incl. Planeta de los Libros.

Overview

From 2018 to 2021 I worked as a proofreader for a Ático de los libros and its imprints. During this time, I proofread books of different genres, especially YA and NA romance, fantasy and non-fiction. In 2021, I started working as a freelance translator and proofreader. Since then, I have translated 9 published books with publishers such as Minotauro Editorial, which publishes the Spanish editions of The Lord of the Rings and The Witcher, among others.

When it comes to my work, I am very responsible with deadlines and a perfectionist. In addition, thanks to my experience as a proofreader, I am open to discussing with the author any aspect of the work that could be improved, as well as offering help in finding publishers for their books. I strive to provide quality translations and to meet the client's needs.

Gemma did outstanding work translating my science fiction book, Quantum Space, to Spanish. The book is a multi-year best seller in English, and I'm anxious to learn how it will do in Spanish. The translation project took a little longer than we'd planned, but the results were well worth the wait....
