      Intern

      I read unsolicited manuscripts and submissions, drafting rejection letters when necessary, and wrote reader reports including two reports on Italian language submissions. I also created and updated databases as required and sent out proofs and press releases. I conducted research on a variety of issues and reported back to editors and the editorial assistant and proofread press releases.

      Intern

      As part of my internship I performed quality assessments of translated texts, liaised with linguists to complete any necessary revisions, so as to produce a final high-quality product. I project managed translation projects for individual clients, from quoting, through linguist selection, QA checks to delivery. I also made contact with potential freelancers and ensured they reached the required standards and were properly registered in the appropriate part of the system. In addition, I translated from French and Italian to English and proofread translations in these language pairs. Show less
