Chiara, thank you for the tips.
Even being an experienced translator, your tips will help me organize the part I dread the most: the business.

There were some good tips about how to organise files, invoices and work schedules which were useful. It is always good to see what other translators are doing and Chiara lets you see her working methods so you can compare them to your own.
