"Lion Academy's workshops are an incredible resource for freelance translators like myself, because they are targeted toward exactly what I need to know. I feel like all I have to do is follow Joe's advice, and I will succeed. I plan to fill most of my continuing education credits with Lion's courses. They're just so much more beneficial than any other ones I've attended."

"Having attended a few FR>EN workshops with Joe and one with Ann Marie, I highly recommend them as trainers for translators!

They are both engaging speakers, and all of the workshops I've taken part in were well prepared, well paced and - best of all - interactive."


"I’ve followed four Lion Academy courses covering syntax, academic translation, self-revision and the imposter syndrome. They were all pertinent and pacy, backed by solid research and experience, and packed with useful tools and tips. In each case, the course left me feeling empowered and energised. Keep up the good work!"


"I love this dynamic duo! Not only will you come away with something new after taking one of their workshops, you'll also have fun. It's a no-brainer—sign up!"

Ann Marie, thank you again for the excellent webinar on crafting a book translation proposal. Your insight on the anatomy of a query letter was invaluable and I am positive I will put it to good use in my next endeavor.
