French to English Translation
John Holland, Ph.D.


https://jhollandtranslations.com/


My career as a translator began in 1994, when I worked for two years as a language assistant (lecteur) in English at the École Normale Supérieure de Fontenay/St Cloud. My job was to translate journal articles and book chapters written by professors. Over the following years, while I pursued training in psychoanalysis and taught English in the French university and in private-sector adult continuing education, psychoanalysts and university professors continued to ask me to translate their writing (see a list of my published translations). I enjoyed this, so much so that I decided to become a full-time freelance translator in 2011.

I am a native speaker of American English who has published scholarly works in French and English (see a list of my publications). With my background in theory and literary criticism, my strong research skills, and my years of teaching English as a second language to professionals and university students, I am able to understand complexities of meaning and expression in a wide variety of texts, from academic research to business letters and medical reports.
