About / Bio
Sonya Malaborza’s first foray into the world of literary translation dates back to 2001. Trained in translation at the Université de Moncton (B.A. Trad., 2000) and in translation studies at York University (M.A. Trans., 2004), she was employed at the Translation Bureau when she worked on her first translation for the stage at the Tarragon Theatre. Since then, she has translated works of fiction, poetry and non-fiction, mainly from English but sometimes - especially late at night - from Spanish.
Sonya takes great pleasure in supporting authors in their work as literary director at Prise de parole. She is also a published author.
