About Vittorio
Featured
Hi, I'm Vittorio and I specialise in copy-editing and re-writing, as well as translating. I got my PhD from St Andrews, where I studied Old Norse literature, language and history. I like to work with all kinds of clients, and have experience in literary, technical and academic fields as well as web-related jobs. My primary language has been English for more than a decade and I have used my linguistic proficiency in Germanic languages to strengthen my knowledge and take it to new levels. When not editing, I translate between my three main languages (English, Italian and Greek), specialising in translations into English. I also like to write and have some experience as a copywriter. My hobby – other than reading, of course – is photography. My favourite books are John Fowles’ The Magus, Herman Hesse’s Narcissus and Goldmund, Siddartha and The Glass Bead Game, and JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarilion and The Children of Hûrin.
Please do not hesitate to contact me!
