Has worked in partnership with American writer/translator/editor Lori Utecht for almost 20 years. Together, we use a very effective method: Vivian translates a PT/FR/ES text into English; next, Lori edits the text for accuracy, style, and form and sends it back for Vivian to prepare the final copy and send it in. This method guarantees that the source meaning is preserved and that the final text is accurate and perfect in form and style. No extra rates are charged.
