About
After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Smith began learning Korean in 2009, after discovering that there were few English translations of Korean literature. In 2015, Smith founded Tilted Axis Press, a non-profit publishing house devoted to books that "might not otherwise make it into English." She has been a research fellow at SOAS.
In June 2018 Smith was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in its "40 Under 40" initiative.
