The people behind the words
Our translators
The voices behind every chapter — the people who carry these stories across.
Bex Adeyemi
I translate danmei from a tiny flat in Manchester with terrible coffee and a very loud mechanical keyboard. Usually post a chapter every couple of days. If a line makes you laugh on the bus, I've done my job.
Halcyon Wei
I keep a glossary for every series I touch because nothing drives me crazier than a name that changes spelling mid-book. Based in Penang, translating most evenings after work. I check things three times — sorry not sorry.
Mireille K.
I used to interpret at conferences. These days I'd rather translate one good confession scene than a hundred diplomatic speeches. I read every line out loud before it goes live and I don't keep what doesn't work.
Tomas Ferro
I translate slowly because the rhythm has to land or I can't let it go. Classical philology trained my ear; danmei kept me up all night. Based in Coimbra, working on the next chapter.
