A note on Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Speculative Fiction
For fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction — including epic fantasy, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, space opera, and dystopian fiction — we strongly recommend the Publishing-Grade tier. These genres carry the highest translation complexity: invented terminology, multi-book world-building consistency, non-standard dialogue registers, and reader communities with a low tolerance for errors. A single inconsistent character name or mishandled lore reference can damage reviews and series momentum across an entire catalogue. Two independent editorial passes are not a luxury here — they’re the standard the genre demands.
Getting a publication-ready translation into a new market is half the equation. The other half is making sure readers in that market can actually find it.
