Isabel de Miquel – Translator

Although I started my professional life as a journalist, I have translated a wide variety of books from English and French into Spanish. A bunch of almost 30 titles where you can find all kind of works: novel, romance, thriller, biography and non-fiction, as well as young readers and children’s books, clearly my favorites!

Thanks to my parents, who gave me a passion for books and languages, when I lost my job as an editor I could start translating as a free lancer. For some years I became a full-time translator and was happy. You never know what awaits you in life, and sometimes you find treasures on the road.

Apart from literature, languages, and translation, I am interested in the history of food, mythology, legends and fairy tales, self-awareness and non-duality.

Also, I have been teaching myself to subtitle videos. I recently joined the volunteers team of Ted Talks who help with the subtitles.

Due to my fight with cancer, I have been less active for the past two years, but now I hope to get back to translating as soon as possible.

This is a great place of encounter for authors and translators. We only have to start talking.
