Camille Pazdej – Translator

Translator from Italian and English into French, I translate illustrated books, comics and guide books on all subjects

Overview

After studying for four years in Italy (Florence and Milan) and working for 10 months in Panini Comics (Modena) as editorial coordinator, I am now bilingual in Italian and passionate about Italian language and culture. I am also fluent in English, because I studied it for many years and travelled a lot. I always loved reading and one of my dreams was to translate books to share wonderful stories and knowledge with french readers.

I decided to start my activity as a freelance translator and proofreader and I had the opportunity to translate books from Italian and English into French (my native language). I work currently with different French and Italian publishing houses and agencies. They trust me to deliver high quality translations by the deadlines requested. To date, I have translated children's books, illustrated books dealing with photography, cooking, movies, comics and guide books of Venice Doge's Palace and Murano Glass Museum.

I am looking for new translation missions and I would like to enlarge my horizons and open up to other fields as litterature, art and history books for example, as I am very curious of everything and always wish to learn more.

Camille is easy to work with. She is responsive and professional and provided a high-quality translation of my children's picture book. She even had to change jokes so they would make sense. One was a play-on-words joke that made my French friend (my assessor) chuckle. I plan to work with her again. Highly recommend!
