About

Kate Northrop has been running Art of Translation since 2014. She is a native US-English speaker from Connecticut. Her travels brought her to the German-speaking part of Switzerland, where she has been living since 1994 with her Swiss husband and their two bilingual children. She has been working as a freelance translator for over 20 years, with recent focus on literary translation. She works with both authors and publishers, and has numerous published works. Kate is also a professional lyricist, and has songs published on major labels (Universal, EMI, etc.). This gives her a good feeling for pop culture, and is a good prerequisite for translating modern fiction with cutting-edge linguistic style. Member of the American Literary Translator's Association.
