More About Us

 

 

Qualifications and Experience
Academic qualifications are centered around language and literature in general and include undergraduate and graduate degrees in Russian Studies and Slavic Languages and Literatures, with a strong background in English language and literature; comparative literature; linguistics; and language studies in Latin, Greek, German, and Spanish, as well as in Russian.

 

Extended periods of residence overseas—almost eighteen years altogether—have led to educational opportunities and perspectives that bring both depth and breadth to a traditional liberal education.

 

We have more than a decade of classroom experience, having taught English as a second language and adult literacy classes in addition to Russian. Four years as a technician in a multilingual government research library further honed the linguistic, organizational, research, and writing skills necessary to a good editor.

We have thirty-five years' experience working with translations from Russian to English and with manuscripts on a variety of topics written in English by nonnative speakers, including monographs on Dostoevsky and Zinaida Hippius by a professor of Russian literature; scholarly articles on government policy, democratization, peacekeeping, security studies, and Russian studies for foreign experts in their respective fields; manuscripts submitted by clinicians and researchers from around the world to a German medical journal published in English; a detective thriller by one of the foremost writers in the genre in Russia today; and the memoirs of another prominent writer there.

.

Our editorial experience is not limited to the writings of nonnative speakers of English. For five years we contracted with a major publisher of educational materials in the United States to provide copyediting, proofreading, and fact-checking services in language arts. We have also helped to create a wide range of homegrown productions, from workshop handouts to a 250-page doctoral dissertation on vowel phenomena in southern Russian dialects.

.

Among other services to our community, we contribute our professional talents to local organizations.

.

Currently we are editing the translated manuscript of a historical novel

about Genghis Khan by a respected Russian writer; the first volume was published in July 2006.
