Isabel Stainsby (1973, UK) was born in Oxford and studied languages and literature in Cambridge, Bristol and Olomouc, Czech Republic. She translates into English from Czech, Slovak, German and occasionally French, and has worked in translation since 2010. Her literary translations range from science fiction to academic texts. Isabel lives in Glasgow, Scotland, with her husband and a very spoiled greyhound. Her books-to-be-read list is likely to outlive her.
