Bio

Translator & Linguistic Reviewer | English–Swedish | Long-Form & Narrative Content Specialist

Thank you for visiting my profile.

With over 20 years of experience working between English, Swedish, and Spanish, I specialize in translation, review, and refinement of long-form content, including books, manuscripts, and extended narrative texts.

My work goes beyond direct translation. I focus on delivering content that reads naturally in the target language, preserving tone, voice, and flow, while ensuring accuracy and consistency. This is especially critical in long-form projects, where readability and cohesion across the entire text matter just as much as sentence-level precision.

Long-form and short-form translation with a focus on clarity, tone, and readability

🔹 Manuscript & Book Translation

Full-length projects with attention to narrative flow, voice, and audience experience

🔹 Linguistic Review & Editing (LQA)

Refining translations for accuracy, fluency, and consistency across the entire text

🔹 Bilingual & Monolingual Editing

Polishing content to ensure it feels natural and engaging in the target language

Background

20+ years of experience in translation, review, and interpretation

Former Lead Linguist / Language Owner for Swedish projects

Experience delivering full-length manuscript translations, including editing and proofreading with a focus on tone and readability

ACTFL Advanced High proficiency certification

Qualified Interpreter (Health, Education, and Human Services)


Working Approach

Long-form translation requires a different level of attention. I work with a focus on:

Maintaining consistent tone and voice across the full text

Ensuring natural flow and readability for the target audience

Preserving the intent and nuance of the original content

Delivering polished, publication-ready material


If you are looking for a translator or reviewer for a book, manuscript, or long-form project, I would be happy to support your work.

Feel free to reach out to discuss your project.
