Биографические данные

A thorough, meticulous, resourceful professional, I can successfully handle your language-related projects. I have a solid hands-on experience in a variety of fields, combined with a flair for capturing the style and register of the source language and for rendering it into Italian.


More about me

Prior to starting my freelancing career, I was employed for a total of fifteen years at a design firm; an international sports event organisation, and an eco-gastronomic movement. Translation was key in each of these posts and was among my responsibilities.

As a freelancer, and among other assignments, I worked for five years as a proofreader for a Turin-based publisher specialising in folklore, collections, photography and travel books (2002-2007).

Between 2004 and 2010, I worked for a bilingual university, translating materials for the management, faculty, staff and students (newsletters; syllabi; lecture notes; press articles; conference papers; correspondence; book excerpts; faculty profiles...). I also worked as an EN/FR>IT translator and proofreader for the biannual bilingual academic journal published by the same university (2006-2008).

Among my other freelancing activities, I worked as a press officer and catalogue editor/proofreader for an international short-film festival, an international food festival, and was involved in a number of food and wine-related activities (national events; literature; promotion of food and wine tourism; facts and figure researcher for a UK-based TV production company...).


Published translations

Titanic dietro le quinte, Paula Parisi (Edizioni Lindau, 1999, part translation)

Academic articles for the journal published between 2006 and 2008 by the University of Gastronomic Sciences.

Luca Signorelli, exhibition catalogue (Silvana Editoriale, 2012, part translation)

Renoir: la vie en peinture, exhibition catalogue (Silvana Editoriale, 2012)

La conquista del tempo, Dominique Fléchon (Flammarion/Marsilio, 2015, part translation)

Transcreation and localisation (printed and digital content)

Magazines: interior and product design, luxury goods, collectors' items. Online content: heritage, art history, product design, fine and fashion jewellery, wine-making, entertainment (scripts, games, apps), education, tourism...


Transcription and adaptation

Italian-to-Italian transcription services (verbatim; standard; with or without time-coding) as well as adaptation services for audio and/or video content intended for dubbing or VO purposes. Assignments I have completed over the years include conference papers (55,000+ words transcribed, edited and translated where required), corporate materials (a number of short-to-medium length videos); product presentations (from mini excavators to toy bikes); marketing videos (e.g. on brand performance); interviews (heritage sites)...


Copy editing, proofreading and editing

Copy editing, proofreading (Italian, monolingual) and editing (English/French-Italian, source-target comparison) exclusively for my areas of specialisation/work, and only on translations completed by professional translators.

I work both on .docx files during the early stages of a book project (copy editing), and once the book layout has been completed, I proof the .pdf files directly, as emailed by the publishers.

I normally prefer to carry out a couple of proof runs, to make sure that the final copy is consistent and cohesive.


Please note job offers requesting MTPE services will be ignored.


Fees

My fees for translation, transcreation, transcription, localisation, adaptation, copy editing, proofreading and editing assignments are reflective of my experience, and are in line with local market rates. They will be agreed with each potential, new or repeat client (either direct or agency) after assessing the original text(s), content, audio and/or video material.

Depending on the service(s) required, rates are calculated per source word for translation, per audio minute for transcription (standard/verbatim, with/without timecodes), and per hour for adaptation, proofreading and/or editing.

Depending on the level of 'rewriting' or 'copywriting' required, transcreation/creative translation/transwriting services are calculated on a per-word, per-unit or per-hour basis, to be agreed with the client after assessing the existing copy.

Minimum charges apply.



Do get in touch through the ProZ.com system or theitalianwordshop.com for availability and rates, and to discuss your next language-related project and start a mutually satisfying working relationship. I’ll be happy to help in any way that I can.

Thank you for visiting my profile and website.
