I’m an Edinburgh-based translator working from Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish into English. With over a decade of experience, I’ve brought more than 30 Scandinavian titles to English-speaking readers, ranging from bestselling fiction to complex academic and cultural texts. I specialise in providing sample translations from Danish to English in the genres of crime fiction, thrillers and suspense, as well as narrative non-fiction. I am accustomed to working within the tight deadlines required in the production of samples for use in rights sales, and have a keen sense of what kind of translation sells a great original work.

Recent publications include:

  • Hide and Seek (Forthcoming, Michael Joseph) by Søren Sveistrup (Tælle til en, tælle til to)
  • Lonely Journey (Forthcoming, Centrala) by Ida Rørholm Davidsen
  • Beast in the Night (December 2023, Podium Publishing) by Michael Katz Krefeld (Nattens udyr)
  • Darkness Calls (May 2023, Podium Publishing) by Michael Katz Krefeld (Mørket kalder)
  • Both Sides (October 2020, Monoray) by Nicklas Bendtner & Rune Skyum-Nielsen (Begge sider)
