Carmen Torres

Carmen Torres – Translator

Professional translator with +50 books including authors H. D. Thoreau, Nina Allan or Daisy Johnson. Fiction, YA and nature writing.

Overview

I'm a Literary Translator with more than fifteen years of experience, specialised in modern fiction but also in young adult and non-fiction books.

My working pair of languages are English and Spanish, my native language.

Some of the authors I have translated for Spanish indie publishers like Periférica, Errata Naturae or Nocturna Ediciones are Stella Gibbons, Tan Twan Eng, Pete Fromm, Nina Allan, Sy Montgomery, Henry David Thoreau, Sue Hubbell, Kamilah Cole or Kristen Ciccarelli.

I like to assume and manage projects that I can take ownership of from start to finish, and deliver a highly polished translation always meeting my strict deadlines, a fact that has undoubtedly helped me build a solid and strong relationship with publishers, authors and colleagues.

Now I would like to take a further step into my career and go beyond the traditional ways of publishing and translating, offering a professional translation service with no intermediaries that will promote a closer, stronger relationship and easier flow with authors who would like to see their works translated into Spanish.
