"Writers make national literature, while translators make universal literature" @Jose Saramago

Maria shkrabkova

In the summer of 2025 I will be graduating from Minsk State Linguistic University majoring in Translation and Interpreting with a minor in Literary translation.

I have experience in translating plays, short stories, poems and fanfiction, sometimes I participate in different contests for translators and also volunteer for different organizations. 

My scientific theses are mostly connected with fantasy for children and young adults, which requires practical and theoretical knowledge in dealing with neologisms and word-play. 

I believe translation is an art-form of its own, which allows the translator to understand a book in a very unique way, different from not only the reader's, but also from the writer's point of view, and yet, somehow accurate to them both. Besides, reading and writing have always been a big passion of mine, so I'll make sure to give your book the most beautiful and full translation possible.

Author review:
I am very grateful to Maria for the excellent translation from Russian to English of my story "Unicorn and Coffee". Maria treated every word with great attention. The translation turned out to be very accurate and professional, while at the same time bright and creative! It was very pleasant to work with Maria, the communication was wonderful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work!
