My name is Annarita Tranfici and I am a London-based Italian professional translator.

I translate from English, French and Spanish into Italian.

I started my career mainly with literary works – Frances Hodgson Burnett, Charles Baudelaire, Irène Némirovsky - and I extended my areas of expertise towards Tourism, Travel, Food and Cooking, Education, Journalism, Software & Information Technology, Business & Finance.

My qualifications include a first-class honours degree with distinction as well as a distinction-level MA in Modern European Languages and Literature. I have three years of experience in the translation industry which has strengthened my ability to meet given deadlines without sacrificing a high standard of work.

I am native Italian, have strong written skills and a very good command of both English and French. My experience in translation, including working for several Italian publishers and cultural associations, has spanned a wide range of global contexts and has seen me translate documents of a business, advertorial, financial, marketing and technical nature, as well as literary texts. I have experience in translating technical articles and manuals, brochures and company presentations, reports, data sheets, product literature, press releases and catalogs.

I have collaborated with several Italian publishers. The following list contains the translations that have been published so far:

• "Il ballo" ("Le bal") by Irène Némirovsky, "International Library" series by Società Editrice Montecovello (February 2015)
• "Le anime bianche" (first translation into Italian of the short novel "The white people" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Panesi Edizioni (December 2015)
• "Fanfarlo", a novella by Charles Baudelaire, REA Multimedia Publishing (March 2016)
• "Le porte della morte" ("The doors of Death"), Arthur B. Waltermire (March 2016)
• "I tre desideri" ("Les trois souhaits") ,Gaston Leroux (March 2016)
• "Nella stanza misteriosa" ("In the closed room"), Frances Hodgson Burnett (May 2016)

Literature is my greatest passion. I love reading and writing and as a proof of that I often write short stories and poems, and I have also started to work on a couple of novels. A few of my compositions have won little competitions and have been published in anthologies such as "Mani in volo", "Un mattone per GUA" and "Primavera di racconti".

Currently I am working as a freelance copywriter as well. I am a regular contributor to Sociart Network and VesuvioLive but I also collaborate as a technical writer for SitePoint and Telerik Developer Network, and as a volunteer translator at Envato Tuts+. 

Among my experiences, I include a year working as a web designer. Specifically, I employed technologies such as HTML and CSS, and graphic software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

I am a methodical, serious and go-ahead person having deep imagination, creativity, and a strong passion for what she does.
