SORAIA MARTINS

I’m a Lisbon-based creative writer and storyteller inspired by people, what they do and love—but mostly what they want to tell the world. I use my 18+ years of linguistic skills as a translator to explore how I can express thoughts, voices, and ambitions in both English and Portuguese.

About

I started in 2009 at (the now extinct) Magnética Magazine as a translator, then moved on to become a content writer and editor.

In 2012, I co-founded a company focused on content marketing & writing, communications, social media management, translation, etc.

I left in 2018, looking for something more, and landed as a freelance translator & writer. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with countless clients across design, lifestyle, architecture, travel, food, and more.
