Editor: Diane Teichman, President of Linguistic Services

Professional interpreters face new challenges in every assignment in the areas of method and procedure, terminology or interpreting systems. Whether the field is medical, legal, conference or community interpreting the entire profession is a rapidly changing landscape. Both seasoned and novice interpreters today face unforeseen demands in both the actual work environment as well as the growing wave of regulation of the interpreting profession. The education and resources provided by the materials in this series provide the means by which to meet these demands. These are the tools which allow the experienced interpreter to keep a sharper edge on their skills. Novice interpreters will benefit from practical direction leading to peak performance.

This series publishes books ranging from resource texts which help the practicing interpreter to better prepare for their assignments, to training materials and instruction manuals for instructors of interpreters. Click here for a list of already published books in the series.
