How to be a successful freelance translator : make translation work for you

Freelance translation is fast growing to be one of the best opportunities for people who wish to work from home. A combination of an economic downturn resulting in a difficulty in finding new jobs, near-universal access to the Internet, and the ever-increasing globalization of businesses and organizations, leads to a perfect storm of opportunity for those who speak more than one language. Unfortunately, many translators will miss this opportunity because freelance translation means an entire new process that no course or school teaches. This book concentrates on everything else. It walks you through the process of becoming a successful freelance translator, from preparation, to being chosen, to the translation process, to getting paid, and even to expansion, if you want to see how far you can take your translation business.
