Yes, I would say it did! First of all I had a great time in UEA with all the stuff and students - career-wise it has helped a lot. I definitely learned how to do my research and what to pay attention to when translating literature. I have done 37 books so far and i just love my job. Even if it kills me sometimes :) What is ur field? CHildrens' lit?
I am glad to hear that. It's great that you are such a successful and productive translator! I research children's literature primarily: http://www.uea.ac.uk/lit/People/Academic/BJ+Epstein
Originally from Chicago, I lived in southern Sweden for nearly 5.5 years, and moved to southern Wales in September 2006. I completed a Ph.D. translation studies in June 2009 at Swansea University, with a dissertation on the translation of children's literature.
Now I live in Norwich, England, where I am a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, and I also work as a translator, writer, and editor.

Thanks for the post, girl. We were quite excited to be included. :)
You deserved to be included, Judy and Dagmar!
Foteini, I hope you enjoyed the MA at UEA. Did it help you with your translation career?
Best wishes,
