I just found out about quite a nice eBook for freelance translators: The Bright Side of Freelance Translation.
Freelancers’ fora are typically full of complaints and laments: low rates, clients late with payment, unreliable tools, communication issues and the lot. The great thing about this book is that it gives us something a little different. It is essentially a compilation of success stories from established translators, and I could relate to a lot of them.
On the top of being heart-warming, these anecdotes contain tons of interesting pieces of advice, ideas and tips to move on with your career as a freelance translator. Very valuable for new and aspiring translators, and a great motivation factor for more experienced ones, like me. Check it out!
