Now for something completely different: a back-and-forth for two voices against a backdrop of golden notes.
At Aptrad’s conference on May 17-19, Allison Wright and l will zero in on money issues facing freelance translators, including a million-dollar question or two.
The first golden notes were literally that: ideas and insights scribbled on bits of paper. These grew into advice offered in presentations, into the Fire Ant & Worker Bee column (with Eugene Seidel), and later into “The Prosperous Translator”. Translators took their own scribbled notes away from all three.
On May 19, Allison and I will be thumbing through the more interesting scribbles on those scraps of paper, and deciding which ones are worth focusing on in the decade ahead.
