Natalie is a freelance copywriter and marketing specialist. She has spent the past eleven years working in marketing, most of them at Penguin Press. Before that she worked in advertising, but she found it really hard to believe in things like shampoo, so she decided to work with books instead. Since going freelance, she has been writing copy and creating marketing campaigns for a variety of publishers, big and small. Her passion for translated fiction goes back to her university days, where she studied Spanish and Italian at Cambridge, and spent a life-affirming year living in Buenos Aires.
