Ian Giles

I’m an Edinburgh-based translator working from Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish into English. With over a decade of experience, I’ve brought more than 30 Scandinavian titles to English-speaking readers, ranging from bestselling fiction to complex academic and cultural texts. I specialise in providing sample translations from Norwegian to English in the genres of crime fiction, thrillers and suspense, as well as narrative non-fiction. I am accustomed to working within the tight deadlines required in the production of samples for use in rights sales, and have a keen sense of what kind of translation sells a great original work.
