KGH Interpretation Newsletter

An anything-but-ordinary mailing list for extraordinary linguists!

I’ve managed and participated in many online communities for interpreters & translators, but always felt like something was missing. Not everyone has an account on every platform, meaning some folks just end up getting left out. Those of us who are tapped in to the latest networks are left to sort through cluttered feeds, only occasionally lucky enough to find a hidden gem. So, I thought to myself:

What if there were a way to pass along relevant, targeted
information, to the exact people who want it?

I spent months researching options and came up with a pretty neat solution: the KGH Interpretation mailing list. You provide as much or as little information as you’d like, and every time I send out a newsletter, it uses a 𝐹𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 algorithm I designed to determine who to send it to based on their profile details. Pretty neat, huh? In addition, your information will never be shared with a third party without your express permission.

Let’s start with some basic info…

The first two fields are the only required fields. The rest of the fields in this form are entirely optional, but highly encouraged.

Name *

Email *

Non-English Language(s)

Enter your non-English languages (in English) separated by commas. For instance: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese

Phone Number

Providing your phone number is entirely optional, but if you do provide it, choose to receive job-related emails and, let’s say, I catch wind of a stat interpreting assignment in your area in your language pair, I may reach out to you by texting or calling you.

Where are you located?

I’ll only use this information to send you content relevant to where you are located. For instance: a webinar about how interpreters outside of the US can leverage higher rates. I only ask for your country and U.S. state.

Country

U.S. State ONLY if applicable (not required)

What do you do?

I’ll only use this information to send you content relevant to your employment status (or student status!) and role. For instance: a free event for students of interpretation/translation. If something is specific to your role, such as a new book about remote interpretation, I’m going to only send it to VRI and OPI interpreters.

What are you interested in?

This is the meat of the mailing list, so to speak. What would you like to hear about? More interests can and will be added in the future. Please note that if you don’t select any options, you’ll only receive e-mail updates about the mailing list itself (e.g. new interests).

Job opportunities

Sometimes I catch wind of really good job opportunities in my travels. My promise: I will only pass along jobs that 1) apply to you and 2) pay fairly.

Mental Health Interpretation/Translation

To be clear, this is for information pertaining to interpreting for mental health topics, not the mental health of linguists themselves. That is a separate list you will have the opportunity to subscribe to at the end of this form.

Volunteer Opportunities

I often hear about volunteer opportunities, however I will never pass along info about a volunteer role that would contribute towards outsourcing paid positions.

Gender & sexual diversity (LGBT+)

Everything you ever wanted to know about inclusive language, pronouns, and navigating interpreting for sexual and gender diversity. I may occasionally share work being done by fellow queer linguists.

Medical Interpretation/Translation

Pediatric Interpretation/Translation

Educational Interpret./Translation

Legal Interpretation/Translation
