Laura Martín – Translator

A passionate, hard-working and experienced English to Spanish translator looking forward to helping your words reaching a wider audience.

Overview

A passionate, hard-working and reliable translator born in Barcelona in 1973 that, after an unsuccessful foray into the world of finance, finally decided to dive into the realms of translation. A decision that has brought me to translate more than 80 books for some of the major Spanish publishing houses such as Penguin Random House, RBA, Gigamesh, Galaxia Gutenberg, Salamandra and El Aleph. Since then I work as a free-lance translator from English to Spanish, both individually as within a collective called Anuvela®.

Some of the authors I have translated are Markus Zusak, Stephen King, Ken Follett, Jeanette Winterson, John Grisham, Graham Moore, Michael Crichton, Yiyun Li, Iris Murdoch, Jonathan Stroud, Joanne Harris, Rick Moody, Stephen Hawking, Nora Roberts and E.L. James.

Work experience

Freelance

May, 2003 — Present

I have translated more than 80 books for some of the major Spanish publishing houses such as Penguin Random House, RBA, Gigamesh or Galaxia Gutenberg, both individually as within a collective called Anuvela®, from authors such as Markus Zusak, Stephen King, Ken Follett, Jeanette Winterson, John Grisham, Graham Moore, Michael Crichton, Iris Murdoch, Jonathan Stroud, Joanne Harris, Stephen Hawking, Nora Roberts and E.L. James.

Over the span of more than a decade, this has allowed me to be familiarized with almost any kind of genre, from thrillers to YA literature to romantic narrative, even science-fiction.
