About Me

I’ve been working as a freelance translator since 2015, primarilly Dutch into English, but I also regularly translate from French, Italian and Catalan to English and I have experience translating from Spanish, Portuguese and Galician into English. While I’ve translated everything from legal documents to clothing catalogues during my freelance career, my great passion is literary translation. Books and poetry collections that I’ve translated include Jule Deelder’s Transeuropa, Roanne van Voorst’s Ook aten we dieren and the Zoë Janssen series for Kobo, and I’ve done extensive work for literary festivals including Winternachten, Read My World and Poetry International.

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

I’m constantly reading non-fiction and novels in my source languages, which also helps me to keep abreast of the latest literary developments and trends.

References

Hmm... no references added yet. I'm sure they're on their way.
