Paolo Costa

Born and raised in Trapani, on the western end of Sicily, after graduating from high school I decided to continue my studies in Foreign Languages and Cultures at the University of Perugia.

With Milena Edizioni, I published two novels for young adults with a strong LGBTQ + theme, available in all bookstores and online in all bookstores (only for Italian readers so far).

Since July 2016, I have also been involved in translations of novels and short stories, collaborating with foreign authors who have decided to self-publish their works in Italy.

Since the summer of 2017, I have been officially working as an editorial translator for Quixote Edizioni, and I held the same role for Hope Edizioni for a year and a half.

Since 2019, I work with Queen Edizioni covering the role of editorial translator and literary agent, handling the negotiation and acquisition of foreign authors' manuscripts to be published in Italy.

I also represent Royal Books Edizioni, Sàga Edizioni and Believe Edizioni in foreign rights acquisition.

In my spare time, I collaborate with publishing houses for an honest exchange of views on publications.
