Translates from Norwegian into English

I am a British translator based in Fredrikstad, Norway. Although I cover all text types, fate has decided that my main focus to date has been art and culture, academia and current affairs.

Since 2016 I have developed a circle of faithful clients through my excellent work, competitive prices, and reliable delivery. Such clients include De Gruyter, Pushkin Press, Murdoch Books, Netflix, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Cappelen Damm Akademisk, Forlaget Press, and many other publishers, literary agents, cultural institutions, media organisations, universities, academics and private individuals in Norway and beyond.

I'm always eager to hear about up-and-coming projects – get in touch at the email address to the left and I will reply shortly.
