ABOUT
My name is Dorota Salus. I am a translator and reportage author.
I graduated from the University of Lodz with Master Degree in English Philology. Then I completed Postgraduate Translation Studies and the Polish School of Reportage. After my studies I went to the USA where I worked in a casino, served lobsters in a restaurant and rented bikes by the ocean. In the meantime, I traveled around and wrote for the Polar Star magazine (Gwiazda Polarna) addressing Polish communities in America.
In Lodz, where I currently live with my husband and children, there are no lobsters, ocean, and casinos, so after returning from the States I was left with writing. My texts have been published in leading Polish newspapers and magazines, such as: Polityka, Wysokie Obcasy, Onet, Gazeta.pl, and interviews in Men's Health. I have also cooperated with Business Insider and National Geographic. As a sworn translator, I represented translation offices in Łódź
For Kryptoscam, a journalistic audio series for Radio 357, I received the Grand Press – one of the most prestigious journalism awards in Poland, as well as awards at the Wrażliwy Festival and the Człowiek w Zagrożeniu Festival. I am also a fellow of the Solutions Journalism program and a laureate of the Kryształowe Pióra competition. .
At school, they kept telling me that the guiding principle of reportage is neither to bore people nor hurt them. And this is the rule I try to stick to.
