Director Sofija Ana Zovko founded s.wordfish after the completion of a postgraduate degree at the University of Oxford out of a desire to introduce a new approach to editing and translation services to the market.
The aim was to improve existing editing and translation services by focusing on first-rate quality and a creative approach to language solutions. The foundation on which s.wordfish is built includes a trilingual background, the experience of native speakers, a professional education in editing and creative writing, collaborations with bigger organisations and institutions such as Médecins Sans Frontières and Springer, and continued work with smaller businesses that are in the process of developing their brand identity and story.
s.wordfish’s philosophy consists of the knowledge that words have their presence in print and digital space, and choosing the correct words for what you want to say is the finesse of our company’s work.
