Bio
My specialty in literary translation is also my passion in literature: science fiction. Of the 21 books I have translated, nearly all were in this genre. I love science and technology, and try to keep up with innovations in both. This is essential for translating science fiction!

Another of my passions is the ocean. As editor of English content at www.123ocean.com, I write, translate and post articles in both languages. Being a journalist, I understand the urgency of the deadline, and have never missed one. I do not take on projects if I believe I cannot meet the deadline.

Like many writers, I'm curious! So I travel regularly, throughout the world, and, thanks to my work and natural inclinations, I enjoy throwing myself into new fields of study. In the last decade, I've taken numerous courses in website creation, and can now add that skill to my repertory - my sites are multilingual of course!

My rates for writing, editing and translating remain on the low side compared to going rates in the trade, and my quotes depend upon the complexity and the length of the documents to be translated, and how quickly the work needs to be done.

My latest translating projects have been in film: transcribing, translating synopses and writing subtitles. I've worked on over forty films and TV shows to date.

Finally, I also offer editing and proofreading services (English content) for authors and publishers needing to have a manuscript "looked over" by a native speaker.
