I have had the honor of translating great authors including Pablo Martín Sánchez, Amalialú Posso Figueroa, and Raymond Queneau. I welcome inquiries for commissioned literary translation, and also offer copy editing services for translated and non-translated texts in English.
The spring 2023 issue of the Massachusetts Review includes my translation (crafted in collaboration with Shanta Lee) of the short story “Fidelia Córdoba” by the brilliant Colombian author Amalialú Posso Figueroa!
