Also a reason to network with other freelancers: a time may come when they get offered a full-time translation gig and need to hand over their customers to a fellow translator

1) instead of thinking the source text is poorly written, question whether there’s something I haven’t understood, 2) don’t be afraid of technology, because the tools I used at the start of my career are nothing like the tools I’m using 25 years later

I’m a fan of Marie Vareille for some light reading. Will look at my bookshelf for more ideas.
