Description

I polish manuscripts into publication-ready gems — with clarity, precision, and cultural nuance.

As a Cambridge PhD in Italian Literature, I combine academic rigor with editorial finesse to refine texts for clarity, style, and impact.

I’ve edited scholarly books, cultural non-fiction, and themed literary journal issues on Italian writers Italo Calvino and Dino Buzzati. My clients value my meticulous copyediting, sharp eye for inconsistencies, and ability to preserve the author’s unique voice.

I also offer bilingual editing (Italian ↔ English), ensuring that translations and manuscripts resonate across cultural and linguistic borders.

If your book, article, or research deserves accuracy and elegance, I’ll make sure every word shines.

My services:

Editing & proofreading books, articles, academic papers, and open to work on other types of texts too (in both English and Italian)
Culturally nuanced translations (Italian ↔ English)
Transcribing and subtitling documentaries and cultural media

CULTURE
November 2024 - Today (1 year and 7 months)
I work with authors, publishers, and cultural institutions to translate and refine texts that demand accuracy, elegance, and sensitivity to voice.
My projects range from literary essays and academic books to cultural non-fiction exploring Venice’s history and art.
With each commission, I ensure not only linguistic precision but also stylistic consistency, so the final work reads as naturally as an original.

I collaborated on environmental and conservation publications, editing and adapting materials for an international audience.

December 2023 - November 2024 (11 months)
Padova, Italy
At Piccin Nuova Libraria S.p.A., an established Italian academic publisher of scientific texts, I translated and proofread medical and scholarly texts for international use. The work demanded close attention to specialised terminology and strict adherence to professional style guides. My role was to bridge technical accuracy with readability, ensuring the final texts were both rigorous and accessible.
