Paula Parra Cotelo – Translator

Literary translator, 5 years of experience. +14 books (Ruth Ware, Hiromi Itō, Viveca Sten...). I translate from EN, FR, JA to ES (Spain).

Overview

I am a literary translator with five years of professional experience. My working languages are English, French, and Japanese, and I translate from these languages into Spanish (Spain). Over the course of my career, I have translated more than fourteen books, developing a strong specialization in literary translation and a deep sensitivity to style, tone, and cultural nuance.

In addition to my literary work, I also have experience in other translation sectors, including marketing and administrative documents. This has allowed me to work across a variety of text types and adapt my approach depending on the purpose and audience of each project. My combined experience in both creative and professional fields has strengthened my versatility as a translator and my ability to deliver accurate, natural, and context-appropriate translations.
