Jacqueline Dinsmore

Profile

Experience, a natural tendency to perfectionism and a thorough understanding of the English language allow me to return meticulous work to clients, on budget and on time. I specialize in making English translations, or texts written by ESL authors, flow like originals, improving the reader's experience and help authors achieve their goals. 

Fluently bilingual and formally trained as a translator, I have spent my career as the English guru for a variety of French-speaking businesses and organizations. They entrust me with all their English documents, giving me extensive experience copy editing, writing, and translating a variety of texts. This has given me a solid background that covers marketing material to press releases, textbooks to children’s literature, business plans to procedural manuals, philosophical and scientific papers to fiction.
