I have been translating Italian to English since 2000. I translate magazines, books, catalogues, web sites, marketing materials and academic writings for a wide range of clients, including publishers, businesses and individuals. My specialist sectors include design, art, architecture, social sciences and tourism.

Originally from Oregon, I graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1996 with a Bachelor’s of Liberal Arts with focuses on cultural anthropology and foreign languages.

I studied in Florence in 1994 at the Sarah Lawrence program in Florence and at the University of Florence.

In addition to Italian, I speak and read (but do not translate) French and Dutch.

When possible, I prefer to work directly with authors by email or Skype (user name: miriamhurley).

For a price quote, please send me the document you would like translated. I offer discounted prices for non-profits (for causes I deem good). Others looking for budget translations are advised to go elsewhere. (For example, if the purpose of your text does not require guaranteed, professional quality, you could try myGengo, which uses crowdsourcing). Read my advice on choosing a translator.

I charge extra for urgency, non-Word documents and bratty clients.

I accept payments through wire transfer to U.S. or Italian accounts, U.S, checks or PayPal.
