Description

When you're translating into English, it's easy to fall into classic syntax traps that will leave your readers cold and unimpressed.

Come learn seven surprisingly easy yet little-known syntax tips you can apply to consistently produce red-hot sentences that will wow your clients... and make your readers hungry for more!

This workshop for all into-English translators covers sequencing, linearity, coupling, structural parallelism, affirmation, underused free modifiers, and the truth about active and passive voice.

We'll be doing a variety of hands-on exercises throughout the workshop so you can grasp and apply each principle in a group setting.

The workshop is sure to light a fire in your belly—and set off fireworks in your syntax.
