A website dedicated to providing services for authors and publishers who want to translate their stories and gain a whole new readership and set of imaginations to penetrate.

Big News! My newest project NovelTranslations.com is up and running!

Novel Translation is aimed to provide authors and publishers with a stress-free way to get their works into another culture and another mindset for their stories to bloom.

There will be an active blog that will feature informative articles, current projects being worked on and of course we will be featuring our favorite client`s and all of their great stories that will be available to you in whatever language they want!  I hope for it to also grow into a an online community for translators to learn more about the industry and also how they can themselves improve their translation skills.
