Eleonora Maggi – Translator

Eros is art! Professional translator for erotic, romantic & action fiction, video games, and audiovisual content. EN/PT - IT

Overview

I am a native Italian speaker translating from English and Portuguese (PT/BR) into Italian. Before moving to Milan, I lived in Lisbon, where I combined my passion for foreign languages with my other interests, specializing in literature, video game localization, and audiovisual translation. I am a Certified Translator trained by Linguist Training, an Accredited Examination Centre of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), and a member of the Certified PRO Network.

I grew up surrounded by books, and working with literature represents the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. I have developed strong skills in writing, translating, and editing contemporary fiction. I offer authors high-quality literary translations that preserve the original tone, style, and emotional impact of their work, while ensuring accurate localization for the Italian market. When appropriate, I can also provide suggestions on how to present books in the most engaging way for Italian readers.

I specialize in translating fiction featuring erotic or explicit scenes, violence, romance, and paranormal elements. In recent years, I have also expanded my work to narrative-driven video games and children’s books.

Work experience

Several Companies

Oct, 2018 — Present
With extensive experience in translating and proofreading romance and erotic fiction, I have worked with New York Times bestselling authors such as Susan Stoker, Carly Phillips, Carrie Ann Ryan, Annie J. Rose, and Leslie North. I specialize in refining love stories of all kinds to ensure they read naturally, smoothly, and authentically in Italian, even when the source text has been generated or supported by AI. Through my collaborations with publishing houses and content providers, I have developed the ability to adapt to different authorial voices, genres, and market expectations. This versatility, combined with strong attention to style and consistency, makes me a reliable partner for your next literary project.

Eleonora delivered a great translation and also had a great amount of patience with me and all my little quirks of perfectionism.

Eleonora was fabulous to work with! She completed the work well ahead of the agreed deadline with all the revisions I needed, redoing and perfecting a machine translation of one of my stories, and she's also a lovely person to deal with!

Eleonora was excellent to work with. She was professional, punctual, and the customer reviews on the final product were positive. What more could you want in a translator? I look forward to working with her again on my future Italian translation/proofreading projects!
