Welcome to Thume Translations
I am a translator and proofreader.
My latest works include:
Robert E. Howard: Conan. Bind 1.
I am tempted to say finally translated into Danish in book form. Previously we only knew Conan from movies, games and comic books.
Joanna Bolouri: Hjem til jul
Lucy Maud Montgomery: Det Blå Slot
I never even knew that Montgomery had written so much more, than had previously been translated into Danish!
Mark Salisbury: En Kuffert fuld af skabninger
Udforsk filmmagien bag: Fantastiske skabninger og hvor de findes
Cory Doctorow: Little Brother
My introduction to the literary genres began with a love of romances in all shapes and forms and continued to a love of all the fantastic genres.

I became a member of the Danish Authors' Society in the fall 2009, in the sub group Danish Translators' Union. I hold a Masters degree in English with Rhetoric as a minor. I planned my education at Copenhagen University with a view towards translating American and English Children's Literature, Science Fiction and Fantasy into Danish.
Science Fiction & Fantasy Translation Awards Have announced the winners 2012. The translation of The Green Jacket got an Honorable mention, but didn't win the main prize.
“The Green Jacket” by Gudrun Östergaard, translated from the Danish by the author and Lea Thume
