Well-researched, well-written translations broaden horizons
Whether you’re setting up an English version of your German magazine or you need an understanding of a French football player’s press conference, sub-par translations simply won’t cut it.
Top-quality English content is what sets you apart from your competitors. As a native British sports, lifestyle and travel translator, I’ll help you to avoid the many potential pitfalls of trading across cultures.

Need a translator for the long haul?
When you produce content on a daily or weekly basis, issuing and receiving a constant stream of quotes and invoices wastes both of our time. I can create a tailored package with a set monthly fee to keep things simple.

FAQs
How long will it take?
The short answer: it depends. A good guideline is one working day for 1,500-2,000 words of truly polished English tailored to your audience, but those figures depend on my availability. Creative or adaptation projects can take longer, even if the content itself is shorter, and more unusual subject matter or formats need a little more time too. Providing reference material, glossaries, style guides or a contact for terminology questions (bonus points for this!) will speed things up and ensure consistency across your communications.
I’m not sure what I need. Can you help?
Of course. We can set a time to chat and I’d be happy to talk you through your options, from translation to adaption through to writing new content. Even if you don’t have a specific need right now, get in touch so that I can advise you and make sure I’m free when you need me.
When can I contact you?
I’m available on weekdays between 9am and 5pm (UK time). An additional charge may apply for projects outside of these hours. I aim to respond to emails within 24 hours on working days. If I’m away or unavailable, I always set up an automatic response so you know when to expect a reply.

Pricing
Your tailored proposal will include a fixed project fee and an estimated timeline. Payment of the deposit secures my availability and confirms the deadline detailed in your proposal. If the project is not confirmed within 24 hours, the deadline in your proposal may no longer be achievable.
All project fees include:
A surcharge may be applied if your material isn’t in an editable format (e.g. PDF, JPG) or if the project requires evening or weekend work.
Availability
Approving your quotation secures your project and confirms the deadline in your proposal. As my diary often gets filled in advance, I can’t guarantee my availability until a project is confirmed.
