Overview

About me:

With over 20 years in the literary translation industry, I have had the privilege of working on award-winning fiction and bestsellers. I dedicate myself to bringing stories to new audiences. My expertise lies in capturing the essence of my authors' narratives, ensuring that the original tone, style, and voice are meticulously preserved.

I have worked for several traditional publishers and have attended the London Book Fair as a guest speaker, guiding fellow professionals through the intricacies of literary translation. Beyond my professional life, I am deeply committed to animal welfare, running a charitable organization, Les Puces, in Brittany, France.

As a solo mother to an incredible daughter, I balance my passion for books with family life. In my earlier days, I rocked out in a couple of bands, though those days are behind me now!

How I can help you:

I will provide you with a translated and fully proofread manuscript. I understand that your work is a reflection of your voice and style, and I am committed to preserving its integrity while making it accessible to a broader audience. I strive to deliver seamless translations that read as naturally as the original, ensuring a worry-free collaboration.

Meeting your deadlines is my priority, and my clients appreciate my efficiency and reliability. With a blend of linguistic expertise and creative flair, I tailor my services to your unique needs. Let's transform your words into a masterpiece!

I look forward to working with you!

Alexandra
