Who I Am

I’m Chiara, a literary translator and proofreader specializing in English-to-Italian book translation. My journey with languages began when I was a child, fascinated by the way words could open doors to new worlds. Today, I channel that passion into helping self-published and indie authors bring their books to Italian readers – ensuring their story resonates with the same depth and authenticity as the original.

​

Why I Do What I Do

I believe translation is more than just converting words from one language to another. It’s about capturing the soul of a story – its tone, its rhythm, its emotional impact - and making sure it resonates just as powerfully in Italian. Whether it’s a fast-paced thriller, a heartfelt memoir, or a thought-provoking non-fiction book, my goal is to make your readers feel like the story was written in their language all along.

​

My Approach

• Collaborative: I work directly with you to understand your vision, answer your questions, and ensure the translation reflects your voice - from the first draft to the final proofread.

• Meticulous: From grammar to cultural nuances, I pay attention to every detail to deliver a polished, professional result.

• Passionate: I treat your book like my own, because I know how much time, effort, and heart you’ve poured into it.

 

Beyond Translation

When I’m not translating, you can find me curled up with a book, or taking care of my plants and cats, who keep me company in my home studio, or exploring new creative projects, from photography to writing.
