Overview
I'm Ana and I love the written word. Translating a book is a fascinating process of mirroring the message, the tone, and the overall feeling of a story into another language. In 2003, I got my degree in Translation, and I've been working as a freelance translator since then. I've translated TV shows, movies, and technical documents, but books are my passion. Nowadays, I work mostly for publishers translating YA, children's books, and non-fiction books, such as "Skandar and the Unicorn Thief" and four "Stranger Things" YA books.I also work as a freelance conference interpreter since 2007.In 2021, I completed a post-graduate in Children's Books, an area that interests me, since I also like to write stories for children.

Present
I started working as a freelance translator shortly before finishing my degree in Translation in 2003.
Since then, I've worked on different projects and areas, from TV shows and law contracts to technical documents. However, my passion is literary translation and books, that's the kind of translation I've specialized in. I've been working with several publishers since 2007, and I've translated more than 30 books, in the areas of children's books, YA, novels, and self-help, spirituality.
I also work as a conference interpreter.
