Carolina van riemsdijk

I am a freelance manuscript evaluator, translator, copy editor, and proofreader with a degree in Creative Writing from PUCRS (Brazil). I received the Academic Laurel, an honor awarded for outstanding academic achievement, graduating with a final GPA of 9.79/10.

Before I began translating institutional documents for the World Bank and literary works for independent publishers, I spent two years reviewing essays written by primary and secondary school students.

I am a self-taught English speaker, having developed my proficiency through years of independent study alongside extensive reading and exposure to English-language media. I am also currently studying Italian.

When transferring a text from one language to another, the goal is generally to strike a balance between domestication (adapting the work to the target culture) and foreignization (preserving the original as much as possible, including its syntax). Personally, I evaluate each sentence individually before deciding which strategy to apply, always considering the specific needs of the text.
