After her PhD in Literary Translation in 2002, Eugenia Loffredo gained an HND in Multimedia in 2006, combining her two main interests, that is translation of literary texts and multimodality. Since then she has been ‘experimenting’ and exploring the relationship between translation, creative writing, image and moving image. The idea of translation as a creative activity was firstly examined in the co-edited publication together with Manuela Perteghella, Translation and Creativity, 2006. Investigations of the links between literary translation and the visual arts followed in the second co-edited work with Manuela Perteghella, One Poem in Search of a Translation, 2008. Her collaboration with Manuela continues nowadays in a joint blog project on translation and writing at The Creative Literary Studio. She teaches Italian and translation at University of East Anglia in Norwich.

Anna Milsom is a literary translator and academic and teaches Translation Studies at the University of Leicester. Her research interests relate primarily to the ways in which translation practice and theory can benefit from an interdisciplinary approach, a focus which stems from her background in visual arts. She is especially interested in the role of creativity in translation and in exploring the potential for texts to gain, rather than lose, in translation. Anna’s co-translation (with Anne McLean) of Evelio Rosero’s Feast of the Innocents has been longlisted for the 2017 International DUBLIN Literary Award (formerly the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award).
