I am a Native Romanian and live in Bucharest, Romania. I have a Degree in English (Major) and Romanian Letters (University of Bucharest, Germanic Languages Faculty, English-Romanian Section).
I have graduated in 1974 and my diploma paper was entitled: „Hamlet – To Be, To Seem” supervised by Professor Leon Leviţchi.
Years ago I led a Science Fiction club and during those years I was awarded a prize for a Fantasy story I wrote: „The Tea Rite” (the story was later published under my maiden name, Nina Daian). Later on I have translated „The Listeners” by Mr. James Gunn who visited Romania at the time and whom I had the honor to meet personally.
I have also translated „The Queen Of Air and Darkness” by Paul Anderson, and both Mr. Gunn’s novel and this superb fantasy novella appeared in the Anticipatia (Romanian) fanzine.

Author review: Nina has worked with dedication to the translation of Daimones, Vol.1 of the Daimones Trilogy. She has review, edited, and proofread her work thoroughly. Communication with Nina is as easy and friendly as it can be. She shows her attachment to the translation work she provides and strive to achieve the best possible result. She's also very active in marketing the novel in her language and social networks, exceeding expectations in this aspect of the relationship. We had issues in the formatting aspects of the translated material which appear, though, due to the conversion engine of Babelcube from a Word document rather than the material itself. This is common with other conversion engines as well (e.g., Sma,shwords) and it would have been easier if we had a Babelcube style-guide for do's and don'ts when submitting a word document manuscript. |
