I translate from Swedish and Finnish (and occasionally Norwegian) into English. Some of my translated publications are shown below. I also translate fiction and non-fiction samples for Swedish and Finnish rights agencies and texts for museums and websites. It’s all about getting the voice right.

My first degree was in history and I especially enjoy work that enables me to use my history knowledge and research skills. I have recently translated several Nordic knitting books for UK publishers.
