Qualifications and experience

I offer a variety of services all related to English, my mother tongue, and to my various artistic activities, especially poetry and solo performance, and documentary film-making (nancyduplessis.com). I have also recently returned to indexing, which I did years ago in New York.

My business website is everything-in-english.com  (English/German/French)

My fields of specialization for translating and editing include international relations, environment/sustainability, social sciences and urban design/city planning, particularly in the MENA Region, Africa, Europe and the Americas. I also work in all the arts, on websites and online, general-interest journals, subtitle films and make voice recordings. I work intensively with my clients, especially on their book proposals and am always interested in a new challenge.

I've studied many different subjects in my degree programs and informally. A native US-English speaker, I have lived most of my life in Europe, where I work mostly with UK English.
