Sofia Huitron – Translator

Hello! I'm an award-winning translator specialized in children's books and graphic novels. Proficient in English and Spanish.

Overview

Hello! I'm Sofia, and I'm deeply passionate about fostering cultural understanding through the power of languages. For me, languages are not merely a skill; they represent a profound passion and a gateway to connect with people across diverse backgrounds.


Being native Spanish speaker from Mexico, my inherent love for

language and culture has been ingrained in me from an early age. This passion has propelled me to explore innovative avenues where language and anthropology intersect, leading me to forge my own academic path. Combining my interests in anthropology and languages, I crafted a unique major called Intercultural Relations.


As a skilled translator, I specialize in translating engaging graphic novels, tailoring the content to resonate with young readers in both English and Spanish. Leveraging creative transcreation techniques, I infuse each translation with cultural relevance and linguistic authenticity, capturing the essence of the original narrative while adapting it to the cultural sensibilities of the target audience.


Drawing upon my experience as a meticulous copy editor for books in both English and Spanish, I bring a keen eye for detail and a strong command of grammar, punctuation, and stylistic conventions to every project. Whether polishing prose in English or refining text in Spanish, I ensure clarity, coherence, and consistency of written content, elevating the impact of each word and phrase.


Additionally, my proficiency extends to conducting thorough proofreading reviews, guaranteeing the accuracy, precision, and consistency of translations through rigorous quality checks. I pay meticulous attention to linguistic nuances and cultural context, ensuring seamless integration into the target language while preserving the integrity of the original message.


I’d love to work together and bring your novel to life!
