Filip Sporczyk
Polish ↔ English Literary Translation for publishers and authors.
Bringing stories across languages, preserving the author’s voice.
About
I have worked as a literary translator for ten years, having started my career specialising in legal translation. I translate Polish bestsellers into English and English-language commercial fiction into Polish. I work with publishers in Poland and abroad, as well as directly with authors who want to bring their books to an international readership.
My priority is to remain faithful to the author’s intentions, style, and individual voice. At the same time, I make sure the translated text reads naturally, as if it had originally been written in the target language. My clients can expect thorough research, reliable communication, punctual delivery, and a carefully polished translation.
My translations into English include crime novels by Katarzyna Bonda and Blanka Lipińska’s bestselling 365 Days series. I also support Polish authors in finding international publishers and editors. My translations into Polish include popular novels by Ali Hazelwood and horror fiction by Josh Malerman, among other titles. Fantasy is my particular passion, but my professional experience also covers romance, horror, crime, science fiction, and nonfiction.

Testimonials
Not only did Filip do an excellent translation of Leopold Tyrmand’s The Evil One from Polish to English, but he also helped me understand some of the meaning and nuances of Tyrmand’s work. Working with Filip was both pleasant and rewarding.
To make a long story short, the project had a troubled start here and was behind schedule before I
found Filip, who has absolutely saved the situation with his quick and diligent work. We are delighted to have found him and look forward to working with him again.
Filip is critical, inquisitive and has a great eye for detail, which is so important when translating sensitive material. He has always adhered to set deadlines and been a pleasure to work with. I can wholeheartedly recommend Filip and I believe his diligence and linguistic acumen make him well-suited to undertake any translation projects.
