Biography
I am passionately committed to bringing high-quality literary fiction, children's literature and narrative non-fiction from Sweden, Swedish-speaking Finland and elsewhere into the English-speaking world.
Since gaining a First from Oxford in Modern and Mediaeval Languages (German and French) and an M.A. in Linguistics from Reading, I have made a career in translating and editing for, successively, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Parliament and the European Commission.
In 2014 I became Reviews Editor at the 'Swedish Book Review'. Since 2017 I have also contributed regularly to the European Literature Network's 'Riveting Reviews'.
In 2015 I came second in Geisteswissenschaften International's competition for non-fiction translation from German, in 2017 I contributed to a collection of short stories for children, 'Quest: Stories from Journeys Around Europe' (published by Alma Books) and in 2018 I was selected to take part in New Books in German's scheme for emerging literary translators.
I translate samples (fiction and non-fiction) for literary agents and publishers and write book reports for English-speaking publishers. I have also contributed to journals including the European Literature Network's 'Riveter' magazine, the Short Story Project, No Man's Land, Litro and the Cordite Poetry Review.
My latest translation, due out in January 2021, is Johanna Gillbro's bestselling 'Hudbibeln' (to be published by Scribe as 'The Scandinavian Skincare Bible').

In addition to Swedish, I translate from Dutch, German, French and Spanish.
