Starters SIG – Personal branding: Lessons learnt through trial and (t)error

Anne Oosthuizen is a translator and editor Dutch-English. She completed her BA English Language and Culture at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Otago in New Zealand, and graduated with honours from Leiden University, earning her an MA in Translation Studies. For a little under three years she has been a full-time freelance book translator and academic editor.

In 2021, she was one of the lucky few awarded a grant for special-interest sample translation by the Dutch Foundation for Literature. In addition to translating literary and non-fiction prose, Anne’s super special niche is poetry and song translation.

Believing that there most definitely is such a thing as your ideal client, Anne has previously been approached to talk about personal branding by Leiden University and NGTV.

This talk is a short recap on her presentation during the 2021 PDD on ‘Lessons learnt through trial and (t)error’.
