About Delia
After the publication of a couple of tales and a few articles on Writers Magazine Italia, I started in 2006 to collaborate with the publisher for which I became editor (www.writersmagazine.it).
For a few years I’ve been dealing with the editing of tales of beginner writers, a job that I found extremely interesting and valuable. In the past four years I translated the following texts, all published by Delos Books:
“Writing Mysteries” , (2002, Sue Grafton), by Sue Grafton
“Rot & Ruin”, (2010, Simon and Schuster), by Jonathan Maberry
“Dust & Decay”, (2011, Simon and Schuster), by Jonathan Maberry
“Flesh & Bone”, (2012, Simon and Schuster), by Jonathan Maberry
“First Night Memories” di Jonathan Maberry
“In the Land of the Dead”, (2014), by Jonathan Maberry
"Fire & Ash", (2013, Simon and Schuster), by Jonathan Maberry

I have been a strong reader since I was a child, I read several books per month, carving out time any time I can. The last book I read without trying to work out the structure of the story to understand the underlying mechanisms was E.T., and I was twelve. It was my first contemporary book after years of classic young adults. After having cried half the day, I read it again, and since then I have completely changed my way of reading stories.
I am 46 and until three years ago I worked in the finance industry, carving out time for reading and writing during the frequent work travels, and at nights. I left my job recently due to family needs and a move to Switzerland.
Unique traits: Very strong reader since I was 7.
