Linguistic Compass
Professional Linguist with a Life-Long Fascination for Literature and an In-Born Passion for the Creative Power of Words

About Me 
I like to think of myself as an enthusiast of foreign languages and cultures. More than a job or a daily incumbency, they have been part of my life for as long as I remember. They define who I am and provide the prism through which I interpret the world around me.

I have been a professional linguist for more than 10 years and have been running my own activity under the name Linguistic Compass for the past 7 years. Linguistic Compass is not only a way for me to offer professional linguistic guidance to my clients in several different fields. It also provides the opportunity for me to constantly grow on a professional and personal level. It is a necessary evolution, a journey of self-reflection and self-growth. This time, my linguistic compass has brought me to Babblecube, a new endeavor that I have been contemplating for a long time and that will finally allow me to go back to my roots and combine two life-long passions - translating and literature. I am deeply fascinated by the transformative and creative power of words - the characters they bring to life, the worlds they create, and the inspiring stories they tell. With two books under my belt, I am eager to delve into more literary works and embark on exciting translation journeys.

What I Can Do For You 
As a professional linguist and an avid reader, I will approach the translation of your book with the utmost respect, recreating in Italian the worlds and characters you have brought to life with the same dedication and attention to details. This is what I bring to the table:

• High-quality, meticulous and flawless translations that strictly follow the conventions and style of each genre
   
• An in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of the languages I work with (i.e., Italian, English, and Spanish)
   
• A deep cultural sensitivity having lived in several different countries for academic and careers purposes (i.e., Italy, Massachusetts (U.S.), Wales (U.K.), Mexico, Spain, and now Denmark)
   
• Unflinching attention to details concerning linguistic choices, the storyline, and the characters
   
• Timely delivery
   
• Open and seamless communication throughout the entire project.

If you think I am the right linguist to translate your literary works into Italian, feel free to drop me a message. I would love to hear from you and learn about your books!
