    MICHAEL – WRITING SERVICES AND TRANSLATION
    After gaining a 1st-class BA degree in German and French, I taught English as a Foreign Language for 15 years in Japan, where I learned Japanese and met Yoshiko. Nowadays I offer a broad spectrum of business communication services. With my English-teaching background, I’m ideally placed to help you write for your business if English isn't your first language or writing just isn't your thing. I produce 100% original copy in a clear, engaging style without wasting words. My spelling and grammar are perfect, and I know the subtle differences between “its” & “it’s”, “principle” & “principal”, "defuse" and "diffuse", and so on. (But please don't ask me to write student coursework.)

    I also translate from languages I love – French, German and Japanese – into English. My translations are 100% human work, thoroughly researched and proofread before delivery. My favourite translation job ever was translating letters home from WW1 French soldiers for an online exhibition (www.rncm.ac.uk/paris-manchester-1918/).

    YOSHIKO – TRANSLATION, DESKTOP PUBLISHING AND IMAGE EDITING
    I was born in Nagoya, Japan. After graduating with a BA in Anthropology, I worked for a local government agency as a graphic designer and later for a publishing company as a proofreader. I've been living in the UK for over 10 years. I work full-time as a freelance translator and desktop publisher.

    I’m also an expert user of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. If you'd like a clean, eye-catching layout for a business card, flyer, poster etc., drop me a line. Need anything published in Japanese? Then get it laid out by someone who knows Japanese typographical rules! As a translator, proofreader and DTP professional, I’m a one-stop shop for publications aimed at the Japanese market.

    I was delighted to do translation, layout and image editing for a charming book, “Space to Breathe: Thoughts from a Japanese Garden” (www.amazon.co.uk/Space-Breathe-Thoughts-Japanese-Garden/dp/0995564701).
