Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Clara
Coming from a family of artists, my adolescence was marked by two great passions: writing and Greece.
I studied Modern Greek at INALCO (Paris) and I now live between France and Greece, where I have deepened my knowledge of the language and culture of this multifaceted country.
Literary translation became a way for me to reconcile the pleasure of writing with my knowledge of this so-called "rare" language.
In 2017-2018, I completed a training course in literary translation given by the Hellenic Academy.
I then translated the first novel by Kallia Papadaki, a young Greek author whose work was awarded the European Union Prize for Literature in 2017. This book was released in March 2019 under the title "Sillages", by Cambourakis editions, Paris.
In parallel with this specialization, which has led me to collaborate with various publishing houses, I regularly carry out general translation, proofreading, and liaison interpreting assignments. I also teach Modern Greek and French as a foreign language through private lessons.
