Currently, none of it Sep 13, 2023

It varies a lot from one month or even year to the next. I have one very regular direct client (a regional organization for whom I have been translating twice a year a lot of documents and reports for the plenary meetings since 1989). Then there are 3 or 4 who come back from time to time (the not so regulars) and the one-offs. The not so regulars usually have huge projects that keep me busy for a while, I completed one of those last month...

My circumstances are that I sort of phased into translation work from TEFL, and my clients eventually came to me by word of mouth. I've never worked a lot with agencies, perhaps 4 or 5 over the past couple of decades, but now I only occasionally work with one of them, based in Barcelona, although I haven't done anything for them for over a year.
