Roy Kate Roy grew up in New Zealand, and currently divides her
time between Lugano and Liverpool, where she is working on a postdoctoral
project on the many retellings (and translations) of Emily Ruete's life
story, past and present. She attended the 2009 and 2010 BCLT Literary
Translation Summer Schools at the University of East Anglia, got addicted
to translation, and was delighted to have "Sediment" by Sudabeh
Mohafez as her first published piece, in Issue 4 of no man's land.
She won a 2011 John Dryden Prize for her translation of Mohafez's short
story "Desert Sky, Land of Stars" - the translation will appear
in Comparative Critical Studies in 2012.
