Alice Banks

Reading & Speaking. As well as translating, I also provide meticulous and informative proofreading and copy editing services for several clients in the publishing sphere, and have several years of experience in producing reader’s reports for novels originally written in French and Spanish. Being on the ground in Spain allows me to be particularly in touch with what is happening in the Spanish-language literary world, and gives me a useful edge in seeking out new works and judging current trends. Every now and then, I step out from behind the desk to speak on panels on literature and translation, host literary events or conduct interviews with other translators and writers. I’ve hosted several literary events in bookshops both in the UK and in Spain, have spoken at events and panels on translation and literature, and have interviewed other translators and writers for literary podcasts.
