Olga Martin – Translator

Senior EN→ES translator for fiction & non-fiction. 30+ years delivering natural, publish-ready Spanish that reads like an original.

Overview

Hello, and thank you for stopping by.

If you are an indie author preparing to publish in Spanish, I help your book read naturally, confidently, and at a level that stands alongside professionally published titles.

I bring over 30 years of experience translating fiction and non-fiction from English into Spanish. My work includes long-term collaboration with leading Spanish publishing houses, as well as serving as the official Spanish translator for Peanuts and Garfield, and contributing regularly to the Guinness Book of Records.

I have worked on full-length books across a wide range of genres, always with close attention to consistency, tone, and rhythm from beginning to end. The goal is not just accuracy, but a Spanish version that feels natural, fluid, and fully alive to the reader.

Depending on your needs, I can support:

Full manuscript translation (human, from start to finish)

Editorial refinement of existing translations

In-depth review to bring a manuscript up to publishing standards

What matters most to me is that your book holds its voice in Spanish and is ready for real publication — not just “correct,” but genuinely readable and engaging.

I work in a direct and professional way, and I am honest about fit. If I feel your project is a good match, I will tell you clearly. If not, I will say that too.

You are welcome to read the reviews shared by other authors to get a sense of what it is like to work together.

I’d be happy to hear about your book and discuss the next steps.
