Course on how to get started as a freelance translator

July 11, 2005

Corinne McKay, a French to English translator, is offering an online course on how to get started as a freelance translator (from babelport.com). She is going to cover the following topics:

• Is translation for you?
• Laying the groundwork
• Your clients and how to find them
• Developing a specialization
• Contracts, payment and terms of service
• As your business grows

I obviously can’t guarantee it’ll be a good course, but having had a look at her site, it does look like Corinne is an experienced and knowledgeable translator and I know that when I started off, this is something that would have really interested me.
