Professional Literary Translator

Dec 2019 - Present • 6 yrs 7 mos

I love helping authors expand their reach and find global audiences by delivering high-quality book translation and localization services. Over the past 6 years, I’ve translated full-length manuscripts, non-fiction guides, novels, and business documents back and forth between English, Spanish, German, and French. For me, great translation goes way beyond simply swapping words from one language to another. I focus heavily on cultural adaptation, making sure to protect your original tone, unique voice, and narrative nuance so that your story truly resonates with international markets. Whether you need a dedicated expert for German translation, Spanish translation, or French translation, I work hard to ensure a beautifully fluent reading experience that feels completely natural to native readers. To give you total peace of mind, I include thorough proofreading and editing as a standard part of my translation workflow. You’ll receive an error-free, publication-ready text that is fully optimized for a successful launch on Amazon KDP and international retail platforms.

Lead Book Designer & Formatter

Mar 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 4 mos

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of formatting 700+ print and eBooks for KDP, B&N, IngramSpark and other major platforms. As a senior layout specialist, I take care of the entire interior book design and typesetting process so indie authors and self-published novelists can focus entirely on their writing. My day-to-day expertise covers professional Amazon KDP paperback formatting, Kindle formatting (EPUB conversion), and making sure you get a print-ready PDF with perfect bleed, margins, gutters, and trim sizes. I love diving into complex layouts—whether that's fiction, non-fiction memoirs, poetry, or children's books—and making sure readers get a seamless reading experience. Every single project is meticulously designed with eye-catching typography, custom headers/footers, professional drop caps, and clickable tables of contents that pass all platform quality checks on the very first upload.
