She has translated works by Geovani Martins, Munir Hachemi and Monsterrat Roig, and has been nominated for the International Booker Prize for three consecutive years.

In 2025 she was longlisted for her co-translation of Reservoir Bitches by Dahlia de la Cerda. She is a founding member of the Cedilla & Co. translators’ collective. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, she currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island.  LUNCH PROVIDED Other events: in addition to the talks, Sanches will give a literary translation workshop from 3-4:15PM.
