My biography and experience

I am a native Italian freelance translator with 7 years of experience in editing, proofreading, and translating texts from English and Spanish into Italian. Since the beginning of my career I have been working for a number of well-known publishing houses and agencies (such as Taschen, Treccani, Newton Compton, Castelvecchi, Planeta DeAgostini, Logos, Kappa Edizioni, Terre di Mezzo, Comma 22, Contextus etc.), which led me to specialize mainly in editorial translation. My commitment to accuracy and reliability is strong because of what I consider some of my principal attributes, these being a willingness to adapt and satisfy local needs, skill in organizing work to meet deadlines, resourcefulness, and a high spirit of organization. My experience includes, but is not limited to, translation of literary works, essays, news articles and screenplays, as well as comic books and graphic novels. In addition, I have a full desktop publishing applications working proficiency (e.g. Adobe InDesign CS5.5, Quark XPress), and a University level qualification. Please see below for a short list of (some of) my publications. MAIN RECENT TRANSLATIONS Andrés Torres Queiruga, Dalla natura alla creazione.
