Phyllis Ang
Translator / Editor / Writer
I’m driven by stories and how they help shape and develop thoughts. This is why I love bringing different voices to you to be heard, so that they may resonate with you. It is inspiring to know how a voice from another culture can be so similar to yours, or how it can be so different, yet altogether human. I hope that you will come to love these stories as much as I do.
I not just translate, but refine and reshape the message so that it can be expressed in the way it is meant to be understood.

It is an absolute pleasure to work with Phyllis for our Blackcrane project from Chinese to English. This project contains ten reviews of several works of Blackcrane, a Chinese animal literature author. Clearly, she has done enough research to convey the life philosophy on grassland from Blackcrane himself to the target readers, both faithfully and creatively. From time to time, she grasps the core spirit, and takes a step back to get closer. We all know that the beauty of literature is much easier to be lost in translation, but she has gained our full trust after the test sample and kept impressing us with her shockingly high self-discipline and stunning rendition since then.

Phyllis is certainly one of, if not the best. She requires little supervision, and she always delivers high-quality work well before her deadlines. Most importantly, she has a penchant for linguistic nuance that I very rarely see in this market; the translations she produces are functionally indistinguishable from works written natively in English, and the original meaning is always captured to the furthest extent possible.
