Bio

Hi! I am Daniela Belen Echenique, Literary Translator and Proofreader (English-Spanish). I got my degree at the Instituto Superior Lenguas Vivas and I live in La Plata, Argentina. I work with fiction and non-fiction texts, independent authors, and publishing projects that require a conscientious and ethical translation which respects the field, tone, and register of the original. I believe that translating literature involves much more than transferring words; it is the art of reconstructing a reading experience in another language, being loyal to the original atmosphere and the author's intention. I have experience translating narrative, testimonial genre, and fiction with cultural and social themes such as mental health, gender violence, social justice, spirituality, and religion, among others. My linguistic training, combined with my experience as a writer myself, allows me to approach texts from a comprehensive perspective and integral vision, paying attention to both the accuracy and the aesthetic dimension of language. I offer translation, proofreading, and editing services for texts and translations to exploit the full potential of your literary work. I work remotely or in person (in Argentina) and have a flexible schedule that adapts to the needs of each project. If you are interested in working with me, please do not hesitate to contact me: ✉️ dbe.traducciones@gmail.com

I'm passionate about

Writing stories with meaningful messages that help people to find hope, love and healing. Translating stories that changed my life and I want more people to read/hear them. Help authors to cross language and culture borders so everyone can enjoy their stories.

An idea worth spreading

"Amor Vincit Omnia", which means "love conquers everything". The only thing that are capable of defeating every situation, no matter how difficult it might be, is love. If you do everything with love and fight hate with love, you will conquer. As my referent, Amanda Nguyen, said: "Never Never Never Give Up. Impossible is just an opinion".

Areas of expertise

Biography, Cinema, Feminism, Fiction, Gender Violence, History, Literature, Memoir, Neuroscience, Non-fiction, Philosophy, Psychology

The TED story

TED came to my life as my first translator's work experience when I got my degree and was lost in the world with the dream of starting to show my skills and potential. I will always be grateful to TED for giving me that chance and letting me grow.
