Find your true professional path and get a future-proof freelance business
If you’re tired of the standard advice (Get a specialization! You MUST have a website!), breathe out and let me show you how to stop doing what everyone does and find your own way. It’s not only more fun, it’s also exactly how to turn freelancing into a success!


What Is This Academy?
In Translation Business Academy, you can find online courses with mentorship and business coaching. I share insider knowledge with freelance translators based on both theoretical tactics and my lessons learnt. I’ve adapted business knowledge to fit the translation sector and my experience comes from having worked in-house in an international translation agency, having been a freelancer and now running my own agency – and no, I won’t hold anything back!

Are you doubting if you should take on a specialization? And what if you’d rather not or you find it hard to choose?
That can be linked to your personality. Find out here if you’re a specialist or a generalist!

Work With Me
Are you a freelance translator who:
- Has built experience in many different fields, and now has difficulty to describe what you do?
- Or has a number of fields you really like and doesn’t know how to choose or doesn’t want to choose?
- Or is wondering how to start building a specialization?
Are you a freelance translator who:
- Is just starting out and finds it daunting to be self-employed?
- Has a ton of questions about setting rates, finding clients and secretly wishes someone could just hand a roadmap to make it work?
- Occasionally finds good tips online, but would like to ask someone any question whenever it comes up?


I’m Sara, owner of my own translation agency: Word Atlas. I spend my days doing general management for Word Atlas, creating content for and managing this Academy, and a (for now) personal writing project. Yes, as a true creative generalist, I love learning and running multiple projects. Word Atlas is my main source of income: since the start of 2021, my agency has 1 full-time employee and its estimated turnover that year amounted to 1,000,000 euros!
In Translation Business Academy, I want to share my knowledge and experience with you, so you can build the freelance business that’s true to YOUR goals, interests and personality. After all, I’ve stepped away from doing what everyone else does to create a professional life that suits me perfectly, so why wouldn’t you?
I wish to empower people by sharing my knowledge… because knowledge leads to understanding and to action… and that will result in a more purposeful and rewarding life
