Bio
When you think about looking for a translator to bring your text to life in another language, you probably think about a native speaker, someone who's been immersed in that language their entire life.
Well, you might consider changing your mind, because in the era of globalization, expertise in a language might not be limited to your mother tongue. Sometimes, someone born in a different country might have what it takes to love and cherish your text and recreate it, true to detail and, if necessary, with adjustments based on the target audience's culture. I have been working in the field for more than a decade, singularly dedicating the last three years to translating popular Russian fiction into English with more than a dozen published titles under my belt, including Amazon bestsellers. I'm also skilled at writing, editing, and proofreading summaries, annotations, and advertisements creating glossaries for long-running series, as well as using specialized computer-assisted translation software.
My Amazon profile is https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-text&rh=p_27%3ASofia+Shcherbakova (currently being updated, so it might be missing some of the books).
