Update: this session is now full; the next session starts on August 22 and you can register at the link below.
The next session of my four-week online course for experienced freelancers, Beyond the Basics of Freelancing, starts Monday. I have two spots left in this session and you can read the full description or register on my website. Registration is $320 ($15 discount for ATA members) and includes four sets of weekly video lessons, a private Google group for the class participants, eight live question and answer sessions, 20 daily assignments and four sets of weekly readings.
I introduced this new format in the January session of my introductory course, and a participant commented: “The course paid for itself before it was even over, just by my applying the first week’s tips and advice. It is practical, practical, practical, and the Q & A sessions are extremely informative. If you love translation and are committed to providing quality work, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make a good living at it, and this course is about as specific as it gets with how to achieve that.”
Beyond the Basics is for established translators who want to earn more money, work with high-quality agencies and direct clients, enjoy their work more or pursue new specializations. Hope to see some of you there!
Hi Corinne- I’m the lady that came up to you (probably just one of many?) in Chicago to tell you that you had changed my life 🙂 A single mom with 4 children, I bought your “Getting Started as a Freelance Translator” book and it DID change my life. I live in a huge city (Sao Paulo, Brazil) with HORRENDOUS traffic and now, instead of wasting hours in traffic to get to and from my corporate job, often arriving home at 8pm, I now work from home, make more money and pay less taxes than I did before, and have yummy snacks on the table when my kids get home. I can work from cheerleading practice and the orthodontist’s waiting room too. When I visit my mom in the USA, we can stay for a month because my clients don’t even know I am not at my desk. And, best of all, because I work from a home office, I was also able to buy the kids a labrador puppy. All this to lead up to say that… I look forward to taking my business a step further by taking this “Beyond the Basics” course which I’m sure will pay for itself a million times over like your book did. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ruth for your lovely comment; it made my day!! And congratulations on all of your success; I always tell successful students/mentees, “I might have nudged you in the right direction, but *you did this*.”
