My career as a full-time freelance translator started in early 2007 and the first project was translating "The Gold-Bug" by "Edgar Allan Poe" into Farsi. Since then, I have translated 31 fiction and non-fiction books including a handful of biblical fictions published by UrimBooks publication (The South Korea). In addition to these literary works, I have translated over 4.5 million words from deeply technical to general. Accuracy and Naturalness are sine qua non of my works!

Although my translated books mainly belong to philosophy, arts, culture and sociology, i.e. multidisciplinary works, I've translated a collection of Murakami's edited short stories of contemporary American writers, 'Birthday Stories'. This book is the most endeared among all of my translated books. I have also translated some 'unofficial' literary texts which are too dear to me to get printed. Memoirs, short stories, novels, plays and literary fragments are my preferred literary texts.

I always been a fan of literature and social sciences where it all started since 2007, a year that I begun studying Literature and social sciences at high school, after that at university it all connected together that I had opportunity of studying literary translation theories, poetry translation and etc.. It crossed my mind to begin learning and practicing more than what they gave us at university. Long story short, I translated and proofread some 29 short stories and half of a book.

I started my literary translation journy by translating short stories for magazines. Among these stories were works of Craig Morgan Teicher, Fernando Sorrentino, Dave Eggers, Mahmoud Darwish, Daniel Orozco, etc. Recently, I've been very much attracted to Modernist Fictions from Japon and started translating them for a very respectable magazine. I'm even thinking about compiling a book comprising such Japanese stories. I have also translated John Grisham's 2017 novel "Camino Island".
