- Maintain the tone and intent of the original — idealistic, visionary, and reflective — throughout the adaptation.
- Work from the source text as the basis for your transcreation, without deviating into original creative writing.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Native-level fluency and strong writing skills in Tibetan.

- Strong command of style, tone, and structure appropriate to reflective/literary prose.
