Bio

I offer Spanish to English translation of novels and most types of literary fiction. I have  translated the following novels: the religious novel 'Joseph, the Great Servant' by Juan Moises de la Serna (73,000 words); 'A Portrait of Death' by Claudio Hernandez (58,000 words); 'Lost Heritage' by Robert Blake (80,000 words); 'God's Little Secrets' by Claudio Hernandez (45,000 words); 'The Heretic's Fire' by Beatriz Maestro (36,000 words); 'The Dead Man's Book' by Christian Essenwanger (45,000 words) as well as the instructional book 'You Too Can Write a Romance Novel' by José de la Rosa, all available on Amazon and other platforms. In addition, I have translated as yet unpublished works titled 'Purple Blood' (100,000 words) by Gérman Ortega, and 'Lonely Conversations' by Angel Garcia Crespo. For all works of fiction, I have my own proofreader who will check the English version.

I offer proofreading for Spanish to English translations as well as English only texts. 

I have a background in chemistry and sports nutrition. Using this relevant knowledge, I have completed medical translation projects focusing on  nutrition.

In terms of life experience, I have worked as in research and development for a chemical company, as well as experience in logistics, sales and teaching. From a sporting viewpoint, I played and coached rugby for almost 30 years, including playing at National League level in the UK. As a player, I was particularly interested in weight training and the effects that nutrition has on training, playing and recovery.
