Literary translation:
the power of a story well told

I translate your texts
from Spanish to Basque and vice-versa,
and from English, French and German
to Spanish and Basque

Literary translation

I combine my knowledge, creativity and passion for stories to produce a translation that will win over your readers

Have you self-published a book and want to share it with people who don’t speak your language? Do you have a publishing company and need a new collaborator to help you expand your catalogue?

To translate literature well, you need to have a perfect understanding of the source language and to be highly familiar with the cultural context of the work. You also need to have an excellent command of the target language and the necessary creativity to reproduce the nuances of the original work to ensure that the translation offers an equally enjoyable reading experience.

With my linguistic knowledge, extensive training in literary translation and my passion for stories, I’ll take your readers on a journey to a myriad of real and imaginary places.

I have experience in children’s literature, having translated five picture books, and I also love genres such as fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery.

These are some of the books I have translated:
