I have written all my life, both in English and French. Those million words aimed at convincing readers, either to give me money (grant applications), that the money was well used (scientific publications, project reports), or to hire people (letters of recommendations, hiring panel reports).

I recently turned to a more literary kind of writing. I publish my production in a bi-lingual blog, and some pieces have been publish in a French literary review.

Since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by literature. My teaching experience includes both young and older students. The translation business has been in my blood since 1979, when I graduated from St Joseph French College in Greece. However, this has become more apparent since I graduated from Aristotle University in 1989. Both French and English versions of my books are available on Amazon, where you can find me. My hope is that we will have a long-term translation collaboration.

As a Classicist, translating literature is one of my biggest pleasures. Unfortunately, one of the hardest to come by, outside the academic world or the pro bono challenges of cultural associations. As a specialist in Ancient Greek tragedy, I have found that translating for modern theatre is equally fascinating. As a comics addict, I would be more than happy to venture in the field of translating speech balloons!

My interest in books and literature began at a very early age and developed along with a talent for languages and the written word. I discovered a particular flair for literary translation whilst at university studying Joint Honours French and German and, upon completing my degree, was offered a postgraduate teaching post on this basis. I am now especially interested in developing this area of expertise in my translation business though for the moment I have no specific experience to offer.
