Translator

I first started translating short stories for various French Science-Fiction/Fantasy fanzines in the mid-90's. The highlight of this period was when I translated the contents of a whole issue of The world of H.P. Lovecraft, a Lee Thomas fanzine dedicated to the famous author.

I went on to work with some of the major professional genre magazines and publishers in France, such as Bifrost and Galaxies, translating texts from Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock, Brian Aldiss and Mike Resnick, among others.

In 1997, I conducted an interview with author Mike Resnick that was published in this issue of Bifrost. But Mike offered to take things further by giving us an exclusive: an as yet never before published article he had written about his career, which I happily translated.

Mike's piece was published in its original English version by Wildside Press, two years later (1999), as Roots... and a few vines: my life in Science Fiction in "A safari of the mind".

Les inédits de la Hammer Films

My first professional translation was of a large dossier about Hammer Films that made the cover.

This magazine was a short-lived offshoot of the more popular L'Ecran Fantastique for which I have also done some writing assignments.

 

Over the years, I also conducted many interviews in English which I translated into French, including:

  • Majel Barrett Roddenberry (TV actress and producer)
  • Steven Brust (author)
  • C.J. Cherryh (author)
  • Steve Englehart (comic book writer)
  • Daniel Gildenlow (singer of Pain of Salvation)
  • Stephan Lill (guitarist of Vanden Plas)
