Привет | こんにちは | Hi.
Meet Jesse Albatrosova.
Workshops, manuscript consultations and editing (poetry, CNF, fiction, hybrid forms); translation collaboration and language education.
Let’s collab on your next big project.
General translation feedback is available in any language translated into American English. Collaborative projects available in Russian and Japanese.
Manuscript Support
Detailed in-line and overall thematic editing and feedback. Virtual meetings as we collab every step of the way. Open to any genre with specialized study in poetry, creative non-fiction, and hybrid forms. From small to large projects, let’s get your next project to print.
Translation Consultation
Translation isn’t about word for word correctness; it brings the soul of a work into a new language through your lens. Consultations include virtual meetings, review of original and translated works, existing translations, if any, and in-line, overall feedback. Open to any language translated into English.
Language Learning
Struggling to feel confident and need individualized support? My lessons blend correction with kindness. We learn best when talking about what lights us up with people we enjoy. Currently booking English (all levels), Russian (C2 to B1) and Japanese (N5 and N4 and JLPT prep).
