She lives in the UK. She was Free Word Centre’s last Translator in Residence and now combines translation (mainly Polish non-fiction) with negotiating publishing contracts. She spent three years on the Translators Association’s committee. Her translation of Marcin Wicha’s Things I Didn’t Throw Out won the 2022 TA First Translation Prize and a PEN Translates award. She has also had many translations published online, including in Words Without Borders, New Books from Poland, and Przekrój. Her literary criticism and writings on translation have been published by Asymptote, The Linguist, In Other Words, and elsewhere. She has organised, chaired and/or interpreted literary events with a range of eminent writers, including Olga Tokarczuk, Edmund de Waal, Deborah Levy, and Anton Hur.
