Why readers here are worth reaching.
Polish rights rarely sell for indie titles because nobody is pitching them. An existing edition changes that conversation entirely.
I had crossed the river before dawn, and by the time the bell rang I was already someone else.
Przekroczyłam rzekę przed świtem i zanim zabrzmiał dzwon, byłam już kimś innym.
Przekroczyłam fixes the narrator as female in the first clause of the book. English hides this for two hundred pages. Flagged in the brief as a decision only the author can make.
The steward did not look up. "His lordship is not receiving."
Zarządca nie podniósł wzroku. – Jego lordowska mość nie przyjmuje.
A English → Polish passage with the editor's reasoning attached.
What makes Polish tricky — handled for you.
Narrator gender
Polish grammar reveals the gender of a first-person narrator in the past tense. English can conceal it for three hundred pages. If your book depends on that concealment, we need to talk before we start.
Pan / pani
Formal address is alive and load-bearing in Polish dialogue. Getting it wrong ages characters, misplaces their class, or makes a tense scene read as comic.
Aspect
Perfective and imperfective verbs encode completion in a way English tense does not. Choosing wrong changes what the reader believes has already happened.
