Bio

Hello,

I've been translating from Italian for more than 20 years.

In this time I've translated novels by well-known writers for major publishing companies in both the USA and UK, including authors such as Carlo Lucarelli, Roberto Saviano, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Giuseppe Pontiggia, Pope Francis, Luce D'Eramo, Marco Vichi, and Marialuisa Spaziani. I'm including a full list of books below.

But I've also enjoyed translating works by lesser-known writers either for self-publishing or to help them find a publisher.

But that's not all! I have also translated short stories, legal contracts, webs sites, cookbooks, biographies, fundraising campaigns, art theory, landscaping theory, love letters, and more... the list is endless!

However, I especially enjoy focusing on literature, wine, food, tourism, fashion, culture, art, and film.
