What my clients say…

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jamie for the past few years. She translated a series of my essays for New York Literature, the English literary journal of the Korean American Writers Association of Eastern USA, and for my self-published book. From the very beginning, Jamie demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances and cultural subtleties embedded within my essays. She skillfully captured the essence of the original Korean text and conveyed it wonderfully in English, preserving my voice and style. Jamie’s strong command of both languages, combined with meticulous attention to detail, resulted in eloquent and engaging translations of the essays. She is a skilled and reliable translator who combines linguistic proficiency with respect for the original text and the author’s intentions. I am grateful for her contribution to my projects and look forward to collaborating with her again.– Chune Hee Lee, member of the Korean American Writers Association of Eastern USA

“Jamie Jin has translated literary works including essays, memoirs, and short stories written by North Korean defectors and played an important role in the publication of the English version of North Korean Writers in Exile PEN Literature of North Korean Writers in Exile PEN Center, a member of PEN International. I highly recommend Jamie’s translation services.” – Gilwon Lee, International PEN Korea

“Jamie Jin has translated two documents for me from Korean to English. The first one was over one hundred pages of physical therapy syllabi, and the second was a personal vital record. Jamie kept me up to date on her progress and delivered quality, certified translations on schedule and at a great price. I’d highly recommend her services to anyone needing Korean/English translations.” – Kurt Tomlinson
