Siân Valvis
Translator
I’m a literary translator working from French, Russian, Greek, and Portuguese into English.
I love translating fiction—especially folktales. My translations include Kolobok (Fontanka, 2021), a rhyming picture book, and The Magic Ring (Fontanka, 2025), which was recently reviewed in Asymptote.
My latest translation, GJAK by Dimosthenis Papamarkos, will be published by Peirene Press on 27 October 2026. Pre-order your copy here.
