I am English and Russian to Polish translator with a master's degree in literary translation and a passionate bibliophile. My affair with literary translation began at a young age when I had just discovered the Harry Potter series. Each book provided a chapter written by the Polish translator that explained the creative origins of all his decisions. It opened my eyes to the magical powers that lay in the hands of translators and made me realize my destiny to become a Wizard of Words too.

I love to translate stories that make me laugh, or cry, or afraid to go to sleep at night. Original stories with creative flair and a sense of humor. Poetry with true rhythm. Nonfiction full of sparkling new ideas or insights. Adventure stories I can't wait to share with my own children. My translations of poetry and prose have been published by Routledge and AmazonCrossing, and in Translation Review, Words Without Borders, the bilingual collection 100 Poems About Moscow, and more.

I am interested in translating books (fiction, non-fiction).
I cooperate with Russian Publishing House “Ladomir” where I translate French texts of classical writers (J. Janin, Ch. Baudelaire, G. Sand). The edition of P. Borel's novel "Madam Potifar" with my translations of papers about P. Borel was published in 2018. Also I was the co-editor in the edition and the author of some important comments.
I have about 200 papers in philology, history, economics and some published fiction writings.

Extensive experience in the translation industry as a whole, branching out into literary translation. In my native English I have won multiple awards for original screenplays (both short and feature) including winning the TopShorts Hollywood Short Screenplay Award and being one of 13 finalists in the New York Horror Film Festival Screenwriting competition in 2017. I also contributed the first ever English translation of "The Trial", a short story by Anton Chekhov, to the Early Chekhov Project.

10+ years of successful experience in different translation fields gave me the understanding that I crave for literary translations. My first humble steps were a translation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s story ‘The adventure of the Greek interpreter’ and several video lectures of yogi Swami Rama (you can find feedbacks in my profile). At the moment I work on translation of my second book, but I definitely want more
