Journalist, Translator and English Consultant
My name is Catherine Hornby and I am a journalist, translator and English teacher who has spent more than seven years in Italy. After working as a reporter around Europe for a decade (for Reuters news agency, The Local news website and Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore), I am now also offering my language and writing experience to Italian clients to help them promote their ideas effectively in English and deliver their message to as wide an audience as possible.
I translate for Il Sole 24 Ore, the oldest Italian newspaper still in circulation. I also work for companies in sectors ranging from food and tourism to fashion, design and technology, creating and advising on English content as well as providing English lessons and consulting in the Cambridge area and online via Skype. Please feel free to contact me if my services could be of use.

Translations and Corrections
I will work swiftly, and I will respect your deadline. I have experience translating a range of Italian articles and texts, many of which have appeared in national and international magazines and newspapers.
Cost per translation: 35-40 euro per A4 page
Proofreading: 20-30 euro per A4 page
The calculation of the cost depends on the language of the text in question.
I offer competitive prices for larger translations.
