About Linda
Featured
I am a freelance copy-editor and proofreader with experience of editorial project management and previous in-house experience at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. I have also worked for many years as a translator and as an English Language teacher (teaching EFL/ESOL/EAL in primary, secondary and further education as well as teaching abroad). I am qualified as a sworn translator of Spanish and I have an MA in Translation and Professional Language Skills from the University of Bath.
I am available to take on work for a variety of clients, especially in the contexts of education, linguistics, law and human rights. I am happy to consider projects on any topic.
