Bio

I am a native English speaker with a PhD in English Literature. My mother is Swedish. My career was in business IT (over thirty years). I have now retired and am starting to work as a freelance translator from Swedish to English, with special interests in literature and botany as well as general translation skills. 

I have made many translations from Swedish over the years. Here are a few examples:

Translation of a pamphlet on Görväln Nature Reserve: https://michaelpeverett.blogspot.com/2021/12/at-gorvaln.html

Translation of the tourist booklet Storulvån-Blåhammaren-Sylarna: https://michaelpeverett.blogspot.com/2016/07/storulvan-blahammaren-sylarna.html

Translation of the folktale Prince Hat Under the Ground: https://michaelpeverett.blogspot.com/2021/04/prince-hat-under-ground.html

Translation of Selma Lagerlöf's story The Servant-Spirit: https://michaelpeverett.blogspot.com/2021/01/selma-lagerlof-attendant-spirit.html

Translation of poems by Karin Boye: https://michaelpeverett.blogspot.com/2019/02/some-poems-from-karin-boyes-for-trees.html
