Looking for a human translator to convey your human words to a human audience? Maybe that's me!
I translate from Swedish, French, Norwegian and Danish into English (mainly UK but US possible depending on the text - I also work with a USian translator as a team where required). I'm a full Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting for both Swedish and French.
I'm also an Intermediate Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading – in other words, I offer proofreading/editing/copyediting services too.
Oh, and copywriting!
I work on everything from press releases through sustainability reports to novels. Particularly fond of archaeology/history (got to get use from my MA somehow) and personal development, but really I'm interested in almost everything and translation allows me to be a nerd about all kinds of things.
The subjects I *don't* do are legal, financial and medical.

This morning I'm sharing a brief thread on my freelance gigs, because social media sharing is good for the discoverability of these gigs and for the search algorithm within Fiverr, for better or for worse. (I'm not here to argue these points; please skip, if uninterested.)
First up, though it may require login, is my profile: https://www.fiverr.com/s/lj01yy7

I wrote a last-minute blog on “Fast and Easy Winter Break #Networking” for this holiday season.
Useful for #editing, #proofreading, #freelancing, and #smallbiz peeps out there … and everyone else too. Enjoy! @edibuddies

Followup on my earlier postings about now being available for freelance work:
I've now put up my very own Ko-fi page, where I have detailed the types of commissions I'm available for and their target rates. Ko-fi is set up to pay me through PayPal, so this is an easy front end you can use if you'd like to commission me for something.
This page is also a means through which anyone who's enjoyed my Anna Plays Skyrim posts can drop me a donation, if you're so inclined!

I've been chatting with some peers about human vs. AI #editors and #proofreaders, and job search resources for #freelance creatives. My brand-new blog post is very related: how to engage with #smallbusiness so they see the value of #editing and #proofreading.
Please take a gander and then comment below -- I'd love to continue the discussion here in the #Fediverse! #GetFediHired @edibuddies

Fellow editing and proofreading freelancers, now that summer is nearly upon us, do you have a hankering to leave your home office for a few hours and take advantage of the gorgeous weather while working? And more to the point ... how exactly does one work outside successfully? My brand-new blog post explores that very question: "Can You Edit and Proofread Outside?"
