I am a writer and literary translator working from Portuguese and French into English. A National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, my interests cross multiple prose genres, including literary fiction, essays, criticism, academic, visual arts, and hybrid/experimental. Throughout my more than ten years in publishing, I've held various editorial, curatorial, and advocacy roles, among these a two-year term as co-chair of the PEN America Translation Committee. My diverse project experience spans writing, editing, translating, commissioning, research, curating, criticism, subtitling, event programming, advocacy, and so much more. I am specially versed in copyediting and proofreading translated, multilingual, and ESL texts. For more information, visit my website: amandasarasien.com.
