Hello, stranger

​

"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels." 

 

This is what I've made a career of as a writer and interpreter, taking stories and recreating them in another language; taking a technical subject and making it accessible. Some call it localization, some call it transcreation.

I call it good writing.
