Any other information
Has published two novels and a volume of micro-literature (which won the Prose Medal at the Newport National Eisteddfod, 2004). Emphasises the importance of her literary background, not only in helping her to find the ‘right word’ but also in the emphasis it places on the rhythm and sound of sentences. These skills make for a translation which reads as smoothly as possible, as well as being completely accurate.
