Olga Kosmidou
@olgakosmidou
Multilingual content creator at Seeds of Hellenism, publishing seven bilingual Little Alexander books in five language pairs.
What I'm looking for
At Seeds of Hellenism, I created and independently published the Little Alexander series: seven bilingual illustrated books for children ages 4–7, in five language pairs. I manage the full production workflow, from writing and translation to illustration, editing and book design.
I publish paperback and eBook editions across Amazon and Books.by, and create multilingual content for websites and social media. I also produce short educational videos, using AI-assisted workflows for research, writing, localization and production.
My earlier work spans translation, publishing and hospitality. I translated travel content at lastminute.com and books for Livanis Publishing Organization, and worked across reservations, guest communication and tourism operations; I’m also interested in remote roles in multilingual content, digital operations and translation.
