I had the honour and pleasure to work on Misha Glenny’s McMafia: Crime without Frontiers, for which I received a nomination for Ryszard Kapuściński Award for Literary Reportage.
My main area of expertise is literary translation. I work with fiction and non-fiction, children’s stories, whodunits, guidebooks, thrillers, and comic books for adults and children alike.
I also like to assist artists, entrepreneurs and bloggers, which is why I offer transcreation services. When you have an idea, but need to find the right words to reach your potential audience or clients, this is something I’m keen on doing.
Below you can see samples from my portfolio.
If you are interested in my services, feel free to contact me.

McMafia. Crime without Frontiers by Misha Glenny, W.A.B. (the book was nominated for the Ryszard Kapuscinski Award for Literary Reportage)

Poison in the Blood: The Memoirs of Lucrezia Borgia by M.G. Scarsbrook, Bellona.
As regards non-literary texts, I specialise – as aptly illustrated in the photo – in horsemanship, equestrian sports, horse care, riding equipment, and all things horses. Since living things are drawn to one another, I also happily work on content related to other animals, domesticated or not. The field of natural sciences is my thing not only as far as translation is concerned. This is also my number one as regards content creation. And if I can combine nature with art or fashion, and add a pinch of literary imagination, I’m in my element.
In 2014 I obtained the qualifications of a sworn translator, certified by the Polish Ministry of Justice.
I appreciate every challenge and opportunity for creative word games. This is also why I am always keen to translate jokes and children’s stories.
