My name is Anna Maria Salmeri – lover of oceans & languages. Above all, I like two things about languages:
1. the power that languages have to connect people
2. the intrinsic musicality and mystery they all share.
Writing, therefore, has become my means of personal expression through language. My passion is to help others through my written words, whether that is through translating or storytelling. The stories I share strive for positivity, motivation, and inspiration. Their fundamental purpose is to sparkle joy, strength and good humor.
After many years in the corporate world and in education, I have decided to jump into the ink pool.
This website you are currently visiting is the manifestation of that decision, along with the detective novel I’m currently writing. The decision is equal parts scary and satisfying, with a sprinkle of adrenaline on top.
Writing however, is not foreign to me – literally. Since 1991, I have been a freelance foreign language translator. My working pairs are English<>Italian and French>Italian. Think I look a little Italian? Yes, you guessed right – I am a native Italian speaker. You can read more about my translating, here.
Writing is a companion who doesn’t demand much in return. I wish to continue writing till the end of my story; do the same and you will find energy, balance and purpose. Wishing you Good Moments and Good reading.
