    I am a native English speaker with a BA in Spanish and French from University College London. After living in Spain and Colombia while working as an English teacher, I'm fluent in Spanish and familiar with regional differences in the language. I have an excellent command of English grammar, with it being what I teach for a living. I have seven years of translation experience, dating back to my university translation course where my work was graded 'outstanding'. I have translated a wide variety of texts, from literary pieces to factual reports and biographical texts. I take great pride in my work and ensuring the final text is both linguistically accurate and idiomatically natural. My experience teaching in Spanish-speaking countries means I am highly familiar with specific Spanish-English translation errors and the different structural ways in which each language expresses itself. I am able to easily infer from the mistake what the intention in Spanish was, and reproduce it in a natural and correct way which maintains the original meaning - rather than simply translating word for word, or phrase for phrase. I have been editing English texts for almost a decade now, from when I worked as my school newspaper's Editor in Chief, to working professionally as a private tutor, and now as a fully qualified English as a Foreign Language teacher. I'm highly motivated and pride myself on my punctual delivery, and believe that good customer service is of the utmost importance.

    I started working in translation by bringing together a great variety of interests and a passion for my native language, Italian, and English, the language I always wanted to learn. I specialise in the social sciences thanks to my studies between Italy (History) and the UK (Social Anthropology), and I have published a number of monographs and articles. Experiences in intercultural mediation, music, theatre and storytelling have expanded my linguistic sensibility towards fiction, folk music and oral culture. However, my hands-on approach has allowed me to work in all sorts of fields and for a number of private clients, who appreciate my precision, dedication and reliability.

    Hello! I'm Ivana, a highly motivated young professional with the goal of building a strong freelance editorial portfolio, based on honest relationships and excellent work. I come from a customer-facing background, working in both book sales and hospitality, so I thrive on working directly with people. I have experience working with authors, agents and publishers alike and I am confident in maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the working process. I have a real passion for books, which motivated me to do a literature degree and further inspired me to pursue a Masters and a career in publishing. When working with text, I am very enthusiastic about what I do and I strive to deliver the best work possible, while maintaining the original idea and voice of the author. Upon beginning work with an author, I like to spend some time getting to know one another, as I value the personal relationship as much as the professional one. I believe having an understanding of the person opposite you helps when discussing the goals of the publication and the details surrounding it. I am a hard working individual and commit to the projects I take on, something I learnt from my 10-year experience as a kickboxing competitor. Combined with my administrative and academic experience, I am organised and have never failed to meet a deadline. Feel free to browse my profile for my experience and if interested in working together, please get in touch so we can chat further!

    Though I was born and raised in the Netherlands, I've loved the English language for as long as I can remember. I received my first-class degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Edinburgh in 2020. A few weeks later I landed my first translation job at Vertellis, where I became the in-house translator for all Dutch-English. Since then I have also been able to translate an audiobook for Storytel, various websites and online content, subtitles, archive exhibitions, literary samples and more. This wide range of projects has come with an equally wide range of skills and experience. This, combined with four years of studying literature at the University of Edinburgh and a lifelong passion for books, means that analysing texts and creating an accurate and stylistically true translation is no issue at all for me. Moreover, I always research the topics I write about in order to create a translation that reads like a native-written text, and to ensure that the content is completely accurate. I also make sure to review and proofread every finished translation before submission, so you can be confident you'll receive a fluent, native-sounding result that's free of errors. Studying literature as well as the mechanics of language itself has given me a fantastically balanced approach to translation. My creative flair and attention to detail make me especially suited to translating literature and marketing copy, which is why I've chosen these as my specialisms. Within literary translations, I am open to projects of every genre and every length. The more variety I get in my work, the happier I am!

    As a First Class Honours English and Spanish graduate, I have experience in both creating and translating content to the highest quality. I'm a native English and Norwegian speaker working as an English language tutor at the moment and have been studying Spanish for the past 10 years! My studies comprised of translation work between English and Spanish in various contexts (e.g. literary, blogs, articles, and professional texts) and included a year abroad which I spent in Valencia. My true passion is in writing and translation, and recently I was chosen to work amongst the most outstanding translation students on a project for COP28. This involved translating poetry from English into Spanish and Norwegian, which will be showcased at the international summit. As a detail-oriented professional with a strong belief in personal responsibility, I will work with you to ensure that you get the right solution tailored to your specific needs and goals. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or to discuss your project with me.
