About
Bringing Your Words to the French-Speaking World
After completing my studies in English Literature, it felt only natural to pursue a career in the world of books. I explored every aspect of the field, from publishing to translation, before finding my true calling as a literary translator. Today, I lend my voice in French to a wide range of English-speaking authors, both traditionally published and self-published.
It was through my work with the self-publishing community that I came to understand its unique challenges. Choosing a translator in a language you don’t speak and launching your book in a foreign market can feel overwhelming.
Knowing that independent authors and small publishers often work with tight budgets, I was inspired to create a translation agency tailored to their needs: offering high-quality literary translation at accessible rates, and helping authors step confidently into the world of French publishing.
With our dedicated team of qualified experts, your work is in the very best hands.
At Valentin Translation, our love for the French language is at the very heart of everything we do.
We are not just translators — we are, above all, writers and readers. We understand the emotional power of language, and we are committed to ensuring that your French audience feels exactly what your original readers felt. Whether your writing is rooted in street-smart dialogue or polished literary prose, we capture every nuance with precision and grace. Your work is entrusted to experienced translators, editors, and proofreaders who treat every text with care and uphold the highest professional standards.
Self-publishing is a bold adventure — one that opens the door to the world. As an author, you believe in your stories, and so do your readers. Now is the time to reach beyond borders and touch the hearts of new readers abroad.
France is a land of readers and a leader in translation: over the past decade, more books have been translated into French than into any other language. In fact, one out of every six books sold in France comes from a foreign author.
At Valentin Translation, we understand the specific needs of independent authors. That’s why we offer personalized services designed to give your book the launch it deserves. From the first page to the final product — including an eye-catching cover and targeted marketing — we guide you every step of the way, all the way to your book landing in the hands of French readers.
