Overview

I am a professional English to Spanish translator with 10 years of experience and more than seventy published translations.

I have a deep understanding of science fiction, fantasy and horror themes and tropes, as I have also been a reader of genre fiction as far back as I can remember. Recently, I've been also translating thrillers, cozy crimes and romantasy novels, following the trend.
