High-quality linguistic services in English and Polish
Contact
I am a translator and editor proficient in English and Polish. I have been providing linguistic services since 2010, handling everything from individual texts to book-length translations and complex high-volume projects.
Working both freelance and in large publishing houses has helped me grow as a well-organized, driven professional with an in-depth knowledge of the publication process.
For the past ten years I have been focused on medical editing, gaining appreciation for the simple yet precise style of scientific writing. Having some experience with HTML, programming languages, and command-line interfaces, I am confident working with technical documentation and have no trouble learning new software. Occasionally, though, I still very much enjoy jobs that demand more creative input, like literary works or marketing copy.

Proofreading addresses typos, spelling mistakes, and formatting issues. It does not involve major stylistic revisions.

On the importance of commas
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. “Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
