about us

Parkbench employs an international group of freelance publishing professionals managed from our Dublin office.

We specialise in literary translation and editorial services
for publishers and literary agents.
We are also open to work across the arts.

Available for jobs large and small, we are friendly, efficient and accurate.

Parkbench was founded by Nora Mahony, a literary translator with five years’ experience in publishing, bookselling, reviewing and library work in Ireland, the UK, Italy and the US. She is currently pursuing an MPhil in Literary Translation at Trinity College, Dublin. Her full CV is available on request.

Nora hires the freelancers who will work for you, and manages each job, keeping abreast of all developments and getting each job back to you on time and completed to the highest standard.
