I translate romance novels from English into French and Portuguese, helping authors reach new readers while preserving emotional intensity, character voice, and the natural flow of the story. Romance translation goes beyond literal accuracy: dialogue, chemistry, and emotional rhythm must feel authentic in the target language.

Portfolio

Work experience

Romance novel translator EN-FR

Author Evie Rose

Jan 2024 - Present2 yrs 4 mos

I work as the French translator for romance author Evie Rose, translating her novels for the French-speaking market. Evie Rose writes intense mafia romances featuring age-gap relationships and highly emotional, steamy storylines. My work focuses on preserving the emotional intensity, character voice, and narrative rhythm of the original text while ensuring that the dialogue, romantic tension, and intimate scenes feel natural and authentic for French readers. Through this collaboration, I have translated all her titles and helped bring her stories to a wider international audience.

Romance series translator EN-FR

Author Mira Lyn Kelly

Jul 2025 - Nov 20254 mos

I translated the Back to You series by Mira Lyn Kelly from English into French. This contemporary romance series follows emotionally complex characters reconnecting with love, often through second chances and deeply personal journeys. My work focused on preserving the author’s warm, emotional storytelling and authentic dialogue, ensuring the romantic tension, character development, and heartfelt moments resonated naturally with French readers while staying true to the tone of the original stories.

Fantasy MM Romance novel translator ALL-FR

Author Nancy Richter

Jun 2024 - Oct 20251 yr 4 mos

I collaborated with German author Nancy Richter as the French translator of her fantasy novels. Nancy Richter writes M/M fantasy stories strongly inspired by Japanese aesthetics and mythology, set in a richly developed fictional universe. For this project, I translated one standalone novel and a full trilogy from German into French. A key aspect of the work involved adapting the invented terminology and fictional language used throughout the series so that it would sound natural, consistent, and immersive for French readers while remaining faithful to the tone and structure of the original German text. This collaboration required careful attention to world-building, terminology consistency across multiple books, and the emotional nuance of the characters’ relationships.

    I am super happy with this!! Fast work, notes on changes. I do not read Portuguese, but I spot-checked sections with a fluent reader, who said the edits are spot-on.

    Working with Vanessa was again very pleasant. Her last translation was well received. She took instruction into account, which I gave her in the briefing and found a lovely French title for the novel. Vanessa's nice personality and understanding made a smooth workflow possible. Merci beaucoup.
