Siân Valvis
Translator
I’m a literary translator working from French, Russian, Greek, and Portuguese into English.
I love translating fiction—especially folktales. My transadaptations include Kolobok (Fontanka, 2021), a rhyming picture book, and The Magic Ring (Fontanka, 2025).
My latest translation, GJAK: Tales in Blood by Dimosthenis Papamarkos (Peirene Press), won The Elizabeth Constantinides Translation Prize 2026.
GJAK is out now. Available from your local bookstore and online.
