Loading...About The Speaker...
Hello there! Thanks for looking at my profile.
I’m an experienced speaker, in that I’ve been giving lectures (and holding workshops or sitting on panels) all around the world for around 20 years. I speak in person or online.
I have a PhD in a subfield of literature known as translation studies (where you analyse how books get translated) and I was an academic in literature for many years. I am also an author and a translator. I’ve published nine books, and have two additional ones due out in the next year, and I’ve also translated or edited dozens more. I have published hundreds of articles, including personal essays, book or restaurant reviews, recipes, interviews and so forth.
Most of my talks are related to literature, translation, parenting or breastfeeding. My specific fields of expertise vary and they include: literary translation, Scandinavian literature, children’s literature, comics and graphic novels, Jewish literature, LGBTQ+ literature, detective fiction, LGBTQ+ parenting, breastfeeding, allergies, Jewish history and culture, Scandinavian history and culture, and more. I would describe myself as passionate about my fields and I love to try to get other people engaged in them.
About Their Talks...
Some of my many lecture subjects include:
The Art and Craft of Literary Translation
The Depiction of the Female Body in Literature
LGBTQ+ Portrayals in Literature and on TV

I am happy to use PowerPoint or to go without, depending on your preference. I can also include interactive activities as part of a talk, if that would be enjoyable.
Talks can be online or in person. I can travel within East Anglia or to London. I will consider travel to other locations in discussion with you.
Fee:
I charge £150 for an hour. If the talk is for a charity, we can discuss a discount.
Travel is an additional cost.
