Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
While editing this issue, I noticed that the word “decade” came up a few times: a decade since a ScotNet workshop last visited Dumfries, for example, and a decade since one of our members began her translation business.
I didn’t quite make it to a decade as Editor, but eight years in (I think), I’m hanging up my Word templates and shifting to Deputy Editor as I put you in the extremely capable hands of our new Editor, Isabel Stainsby. Isabel is a fantastic literary translator and representative of the translation community in ScotNet and beyond. I’m delighted to have her on board, along with Pauline Côme-Laing, who’s joining us to make up an editorial team trio.
I also have to say thank you to the amazing stalwarts who are Kathleen McNish and Kay McBurney for their editing work over the years: you are both eagle-eyed stars! And thank you, ScotNetters, for reading my musings here and being extremely gracious whenever my name dropped into your inbox asking for an article. Please do keep sending those fantastic contributions to Isabel and reaching out to her with ideas – those are the very foundations of the content that goes in here.
