Her work is excellent, and her communication makes the process super easy. In the course of translating my first book, she was even able to find errors in the original manuscript that the editor had missed. I am very grateful for the quality of her work and attention to detail. As leaders of Kingdom Writers Association, my husband, Brae Wyckoff, and I have developed a trusted relationship with Maria. As such, we refer all our members to her for translation. I highly recommend working with Maria on your next project.

Maria Terreros is an amazing and gifted translator. We've had the privilege of enjoying her spoken translation for many of our events, and she is equally skilled in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is often more difficult for native Spanish speakers (but not for Maria)! We recently published a book called "Loved to Life" ("La Travesia" in Spanish).
Often when a book is translated into another language, it feels a bit awkward and is obvious to the reader that it was originally written in a different language. However, through Maria's thoughtful and skilled translation of our English book into the Spanish language, she brought the words to life in a way that makes the reader feel it was originally written just for them.
We highly recommend Maria as a top-quality interpreter, book translator, and mission team member. For those fortunate enough to spend time with her, they will also find her to be a uniquely thoughtful person and friend as well!

Finding a translation partner who is both meticulous and equipped to translate a book is no easy task. Thankfully, Maria Terreros is both. Her skill and dedication to our recent book project made our Spanish translation a simple process. She did a great job, communicated with us often and produced the manuscript on time. I highly recommend her services.

Maria is amazing! She has been with us on many trips to Central and South America. She has worked with us in every way. Maria has been used by God to translate several books including mine, and did a fantastic job. Maria has also interpreted for us every trip. I can unreservedly recommend her!

I am absolutely delighted with Maria's exceptional translation of my Christian book. Her dedication to maintaining the distinctive voice I envisioned for Spanish readers truly amazed me. She not only completed the project with impressive speed, but her work was so impeccable that some of my Spanish-speaking friends were convinced I had mastered the language myself. Maria's translation is a gift to both the essence of my book and its new audience.

I am thrilled to write this endorsement for María Terreros, who has proven to be an exceptional translator and an invaluable asset to my projects. María worked with me on the translation of two of my books. I don’t know Spanish, but I have received feedback from many sources who attest to her ability to produce excellent translations. In addition to the quality, she has always worked within a timeline. She also did an excellent edit of another book I wrote, again within a tight timeline.
Through our collaboration, it became evident that María possesses a deep understanding of language nuances in English and has the remarkable ability to reproduce these nuances in Spanish. Her translations conveyed emotions, context, and subtleties, ensuring that the target audience could fully connect with my material.
María also showed a genuine passion for the subject matter of the books she translated. She even went beyond translating and produced a professional audio recording of one of the books. This enthusiasm and initiative, combined with her linguistic expertise, resulted in engaging and accurate translations.
I have no hesitation in endorsing María Terreros as a talented and dedicated translator and editor. I am confident that her future endeavors will continue to reflect the same level of excellence and commitment that I had the privilege to witness firsthand.

I am delighted to wholeheartedly endorse my dear friend Maria Terreros for her exceptional interpreting and editing skills in English and Spanish. I am a certified translator from English to Spanish and have worked with many in the industry over a period of nearly 40 years. I can say from my experience that Maria is exceptional. I have had the privilege of collaborating with Maria on a number of projects. I was the editor of her translations of two books into English. I have collaborated with her in editing my translations, and I have been with her on interpreting assignments. In all cases, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Maria's remarkable ability to bridge language and cultural gaps with ease among diverse groups of people. As an interpreter, her command of both languages shines through. She can quickly and what seems to be flawlessly, communicate the words of the speaker to the audience, at times in front of large groups, in their own words and thoughts. I have witnessed her translating from English to Spanish, and Spanish to English. It is rare to find a person who can do both, and especially at the high level that she possesses. Beyond her translation expertise, her editing abilities are equally impressive. She has edited numerous projects for me, and others, always making the final text more fluid and natural, while maintaining the essence and integrity of the original content. Maria's commitment to producing high-quality work makes her an invaluable asset.
Having said all this, I need to say that what really sets Maria apart is her unwavering passion for translating, editing, and interpreting. She approaches each assignment with energy and enthusiasm. She truly has a passion for her profession. I have no doubt that Maria will continue to make a significant impact in translation and the field of interpreting and editing. Her linguistic abilities, discipline, versatility, and ability to work with diverse groups make her an asset to any individual or organization fortunate enough to have on their team. I wholeheartedly endorse Maria.

I worked with Maria during my second book and I absolutely loved her approach. She had clear communication and made me part of the process by asking and giving me choices when there were several ways of translating a particular part of the book. She was great to work with and when we were on a time crunch, she delivered even though that meant working long hours. She was knowledgeable of the differences in regional Spanish idioms. It was a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommended.

Maria's professionalism and attention to detail ensured me that our English-to-Spanish translation project was in the best possible hands. She asked questions that demonstrated extensive knowledge of the differences between different languages. I am completely confident in the translation she provided.
