Getting Started as a Freelance Translator starts September 26

The next session of my popular online course Getting Started as a Freelance Translator starts on September 26 and runs for four weeks. The past three sessions of the course have filled up before the start date, so please head on over to my website and register if you would like to join us! Students in the last session of the course commented:

–Simply put, this is one of the finest resources for any translator. No matter what your specialization is, I guarantee you will take something away from Corinne’s online course. For those just starting, it will instruct and guide. For veterans, it can remind and reaffirm. In either case, you’ll definitely enjoy the experience!

–I think that this course offers tremendous value for the cost. However, this is the smallest part of its worth. Corinne takes you from where you are and helps you move a step forward with thoughtful, detailed, and thorough advice for every question. To my knowledge there is not another course like this, and it fills a terrible void and need, but does so in a friendly yet rigorous way. I cannot say enough good about Corinne’s approach.

During the four-week session, we work on four very targeted assignments: your resumé and cover letter, your marketing plan, your rates and payment terms and your online presence (website, association profiles, LinkedIn page, etc). Everyone in the class receives individualized feedback from me on every assignment, and then we supplement that with at least four question and answer conference calls that you can attend live or listen to at another time. You also receive a complimentary copy of the second edition of my book How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator. The course is open to translators in any language pair, and both beginning and experienced translators are welcome! The course fee is $275 with a $50 discount for members of the American Translators Association. For more information or to register, please visit my website.

    Thanks for posting! I am starting my own website, and I am looking at all the information I can find on web translators, or services/ people that can help me with that task. This is very helpful information, thanks for sharing!

    You’re so interesting! I do not suppose I’ve read through a single thing like that before.
    So wonderful to find somebody with a few unique thoughts on this subject matter.
    Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This web site is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!

    take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your
    blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even
    using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic blog!
