Getting Started as a Freelance Translator- starts September 24

The next session of my online course for beginning translators, Getting Started as a Freelance Translator, starts on September 24, and there are currently three spots left. This is a four-week course for translators in any language combination; we focus on four targeted assignments (your resume and cover letter, marketing plan, rates and billable hours sheet and online presence), and every week we also do a one-hour question and answer conference call. Every student receives copies of my books How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator and Thoughts on Translation.

A recent participant in the course commented, “Neither in my undergraduate classes in education nor in some of the more practical classes I took as part of my MA in English (including the course connected to my assistantship as a writing consultant) did I ever experience one course that delivered as much precise and helpful information as this course.” If you’d like to join us, registration is US $325, with a $50 discount for ATA members. Visit my website for a full description or to register! And if you’re a more experienced translator looking for a nudge toward your business goals, registration is also open (same page) for the next session of Beyond the Basics of Freelancing, beginning November 12.

    Hi Corinne! I am wondering if this course is right for me? I have been freelancing part time with agencies for the last 2 years and want to take it on full time, with agencies and direct clients, this year. And, are there any places left?

      Thanks Molly! There’s one spot left (truthfully; not to sound like a used car salesman). And yes, I’d say if you’ve been part time for 2 years, you could do either Getting Started or Beyond the Basics, but probably Getting started would be better.
