Student Feedback for Ellen
Working with Ellen has been incredibly rewarding. She is precise, thorough, sensitive and exacting. She has challenged me and helped me to grow both as a writer and as a person. I can only recommend her. Mark Baczoni
I loved working with Ellen. Her thoughtful feedback on my poetry translations revealed not only her editorial skill but also her deep appreciation for the artistry of language in both English and Spanish. She was also a meticulous copyeditor, reviewing each line with care to ensure the poems were publication-ready. I would trust my work with her again in a heartbeat. Eileen O’Connor, translator of poetry by Blanca Varela
¡Mil gracias Ellen, I had the most wonderful week! The translation workshops and networking opportunities were invaluable, and our diverse interests and varying levels of experience made for an enriching group dynamic. I came away feeling so inspired, motivated and excited to apply everything I learnt. Emily Francis
