Claudia Monacelli

Claudia Monacelli draws from a lifetime of decoding language and power to craft pulse-pounding thrillers, including her upcoming debut The Interpreter's Gambit, where words can ignite global crises. A Ph.D. from Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh) in how ideology shapes discourse, she authored six non-fiction books and forty peer-reviewed essays on interpretation, translation, and sociolinguistics. As former Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture, her expertise has informed consulting for the Italian and U.S. governments on education and cybersecurity, as well as collaborations with Interpol and the Italian Constitutional Court.

A certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, she trains voices for actors and speakers, partnering with laryngologists to unlock human expression. Her intuitive side—as a psychic medium, Soul Therapist, and hypnotherapist—deepens her insights into motivation and mystery, fueling authentic character arcs.

Host of the podcast Let's Talk Soul with ElectraCast Media, Claudia boasts a YouTube channel with 65,000 subscribers and frequents top podcasts as a guest. When not weaving espionage tales, she dances Argentine tango, swims, and savors fine dining with exquisite wine and lively company. Follow her for more on language's hidden dangers.
