Emma Sayers is an independent translator of poetry, literature and subtitles for the cinema and television. In 2000, she flew the cosy nest of multicultural Coventry at the overly-ripe age of 23 to seek poverty and self-realisation in the Parisian independent movie scene. Becoming fluent in French but bored and broke after four years, she returned to her homeland for three months to recharge her finances before indulging her adventurous aspirations in mainland Europe once again… But while plans are made, God sniggers into his mighty hands. She would spend the next nine years in Coventry and Bournemouth as the lead singer and songwriter in a band called Filthy Cake. Although this gorging on creativity sated her for a while, she would stand on the southern beach, eyes trained on the horizon, aware of the umbilical “chord” that was still attached to her, anchoring her to the Isles. In 2012, her fizzling frustration finally pinged her across the sea, like dessert on a spoon in a food fight… and she landed in Berlin, where she still lives today. Emma is also a chatterbox in Italian, Spanish, German and Catalan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
