Review
16 2016 Resources
Thanks to social media platforms, self-publishing tools and, of course, traditional publishing, freelance translators have a wealth and wide range of resources to help them navigate the practical aspects of the brave, new world of translation. The Book of Standing Out: Travels through the Inner Life of Freelance Translation by Andrew Morris ably straddles professional reality both online and off. Neither a handbook, a reference nor an academic treatise, Morris’ first book pairs anecdotes with ample humor to address the many challenges translators face.
Standing Out offers a “best of” compilation of online posts, the majority published on Morris’ eponymous Facebook community page, others shared on the ITI Pillar Box and Alexandria Project blogs. Morris, a seasoned translator but relative newcomer to social media, proves to be a natural online communicator. He adopts an informal, conversational tone and style that quickly engages the reader. In fact, his text often has the feel of spoken word, which is not surprising since it appears he is a fan of Dragon voice recogni-tion software. Comments from fans and colleagues, some of which are quite long and developed, amplify the author’s conversational voice. Morris starts the book with a strong argument for the impor-tance of a positive attitude. For freelance translators, he writes, “[c]ompetence is the bare minimum and it accounts for about 25%
Nancy A. Locke is a writer and translator living in Montreal.
The Book of Standing Out: Travels through the Inner Life of Freelance Translation
The 25/75 solution to thriving as a freelance translator
of what you can achieve.” Fully 75% depends on attitude, he says, “[a]nd it starts inside your head and your heart. That’s where you need to look.” This important theme recurs regularly throughout the book, not in a prescriptive way, but naturally. Optimism, a positive attitude and deep-rooted confidence inform every page. Even the occasional war story — intense moments of insecurity, panic and despair that will be familiar
The Book of Standing Out: Travels through the Inner Life of Freelance Translation, by Andrew Morris. Price $10.74, Self-published, available on Amazon.
[ News and AnnouncementsWe always like to receive press releases and product announcements. We publish these in our electronic newsletter, MultiLingual News, and on multilingual.com. We also place as many as we can in the “News” section of the magazine. Our readers consistently rate this as one of their most read sections, and we rely on you to provide us with ongoing material. There is no charge for this exposure. Just submit your press releases online at multilingual.com/submit-news or email to [email protected]. To be considered for inclusion in the magazine, items need to be received by the ad space reservation deadline for each issue — see the calendar in the back of this media kit for dates.
[ Product ReviewsWe publish language product reviews and are constantly in need of products to review. We only review currently released products and use our independent reviewers for this process. If you would like your language product reviewed, please contact [email protected] for consideration. Your only cost is that of the review products provided and the time answering questions for the reviewer.
[ Articles and EditorialGood articles are always being sought. If you or someone at your company has an idea for an article or an interest in writing one yourself, please contact us at [email protected]. To maintain our high level of editorial integrity, we discourage self promotion and an obvious bias toward one’s own products and services. Yet, this is a great opportunity to demonstrate how your product can be used, to showcase your level of technical competency and to provide examples of case studies and other information that will help our readers understand the technology and how to use it. Writer’s guidelines are available at multilingual.com/submissions. The calendar in the back of this media kit contains topics for which we will be seeking editorial in future issues. Editorial deadlines are two months prior to the Mail dates indicated on the calendar for each issue. This again is a no-cost opportunity we encourage you to consider.
