Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prince from Oman flies Dimitra from New York to Las Vegas on a private jet; a 65-year old business tycoon who, in the days before Viagra, demands little more than the 24-old Dimitra's company; a hot film actor who is so well-endowed he is "painful". But no other client receives more attention than Aaron Sorkin. They meet, start a two-year long drug-fueled relationship, and lose touch. They start e-mailing eight years later, and by this time Sorkin has written a call girl character into his TV show, The West Wing. Amber is a call girl and one of Dimitra's best friends. She is attacked and nearly killed by a serial murderer who poses as a client. After Amber's life is almost destroyed, Dimitra thinks being on The West Wing would restore Amber's self-esteem. She tells Sorkin about the attack, and asks him to audition Amber for the show. After all, he always writes in his e-mails that he wants to be friends, and Amber is more gorgeous than anybody on The West Wing. But is he truly a friend? Or, are these only some of his many words on paper, so to speak? Confessions Of A High-Priced Call Girl is an extraordinary journey that will enthrall readers with its stylish writing, secrets and lies, wit and lust.

Book Synopsis Secret Confessions of a High-Priced Call Girl by : Dimitra Ekmektsis
Download or read book Secret Confessions of a High-Priced Call Girl written by Dimitra Ekmektsis and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a call girl isn't really about the money and the sex - it's about the excitement and the experiences... A high-class call girl in New York City at 21, the mistress of a much older sugar daddy at 24, and later working in a legal brothel in Nevada, Dimitra has a tale to tell about the sex trade. In "Secret Confessions of a High-Priced Call Girl" she draws back the sheets to reveal the whole story. Written in her witty style and coupled with some very explicit entries, Dimitra portrays her estranged family, her drug use, and her adventures with men. Part autobiography, part erotic fiction, "Secret Confessions of a High-Priced Call Girl" is also a self-empowering, astute look at the oldest profession in the world.... Review (Hustler Magazine): Dimitra became the Happy Hooker of the 1990s. Now she shares some of her juiciest anectodes in a tell-all book that promises to be a bestseller, if not a celluloid shocker...

Book Synopsis Using CAT Tools in Freelance Translation by : Paulina Pietrzak
Download or read book Using CAT Tools in Freelance Translation written by Paulina Pietrzak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of applying computer-assisted (CAT) tools in freelance translation toward better understanding translators’ strategies, preferences, and challenges in using new technologies and identifying areas of enhancement in translator training. The volume offers a brief overview of the latest developments in technology in translation, examining such issues as the effect on the translation process and the dynamics of the translator-technology interaction. Drawing on data from a study with active translators in Poland, Pietrzak and Kornacki examine the underlying factors underpinning translators’ lack of engagement with these tools, including such issues as prevailing pre-conceptions around technology and limited knowledge hindering the most efficacious use of these resources and the subsequent impact on translator identity. Taken together, the book brings together these insights to help pinpoint freelance translators’ needs more effectively and adapt training programmes accordingly. The volume will be of interest to scholars in translation studies with an interest in process and technology as well as active translators.

Book Synopsis The Art of Translation by : Jirí Levý
Download or read book The Art of Translation written by Jirí Levý and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jirí Levý's seminal work, The Art of Translation, considered a timeless classic in Translation Studies, is now available in English. Having drawn on adjacent disciplines, the methodology of Czech functional sociosemiotic structuralism and the state-of-the art in the West, Levý synthesized his findings and experience in the field presenting them in a reader-friendly book, which combines the approaches of a theoretician, systemic analyst, historian, critic, teacher, practitioner and populariser. Although focused on literary translation from theoretical, descriptive and historical perspectives, it presents a conceptualization of a general theory, addressing a number of issues discussed today. The 'practical' mission of the book as a theory extending to practice is based on the same historical-dialectic affinity of methods, norms, functions and values, accounting for the translator's agency and other contextual agents involved in the communication process. The book will be useful to translators, researchers, students and teachers in Translation and Literary Studies.

However, the opportunities this offers in terms of income and personal satisfaction are considerable. This book considers the initial Ssteps towards business development, exploiting these opportunities and the rewards they can offer. Advice is given on setting up a translation business, organisational development, what a business plan needs to consider for successful growth, how quality management needs to be approached, managing human resources, customer relations and other topics. The book provides a wealth of ready-made examples of quality procedures, forms that support business management and sources of further information. It also considers an exit strategy and related long-term planning when disposing of the business. Managing Translation Services is based on the many years of experience gained by the author working as a staff translator, freelance translator, university lecturer in translation studies, and former head of an award-winning, ISO 9001 accredited company. As a result, it covers a range of management issues relating to providing professional translation services.
