I'm a professional writer of English who happens to read Chinese. I specialize in writing advertising and public relations copy, and occasionally I write feature articles for business and lifestyle publications.

Having lived for more than ten years in China, I picked up mandarin largely through absorption and self-study. I've also taken advanced mandarin classes at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, and first studied the language at University of Virginia.

If you need your Chinese text translated into English that captures the spirit and nuances of the source language, then I'm the kind of translator you seek. I can also help if the ideas in your Chinese text are not well organized or need further development, or if you need a writer to generate ideas for you.
