STELLA MATTIOLI
Translator (English/Italian) and proofreader
Services: Translating, proofreading
Translation service languages: ENGLISH to ITALIAN
Subject areas: Humanities, second language acquisition, literature
As an Italian native translator, my experience ranges from legal documents and certificates to novels (ENG-ITLN). I work professionally as a college-level instructor and previously as a writer. A native of Florence, until 2013 I lived in Poggio a Caiano, a small Italian village that is the sister city of Charlottesville, Virginia. In 2005 I graduated from the University of Florence with a major in the Organization of Cultural Events. After that, I wrote for a local newspaper until applying to the University of Virginia for a master’s in Italian Studies, which I completed in 2015. Since that time I have been working as a lecturer of Italian at the same institution.
Aside from my native Italian fluency, I also have near-native fluency in English (TOEFL, GRE). My active research program is focused on pedagogy, second language acquisition, Victorian literature, American contemporary literature, and crime fiction. I teach all levels of elementary and intermediate Italian.
I offer discounted rates for NCIS members.

PIRI HALASZ
All Star Editorial Services
Allstareditorialservices.com
Aes100@earthlink.net
Services: Editing, revising, reordering and/or proofreading
Specialties: Essays, articles, letters, proposals, memos, etc.
Subject matter: Humanities, social sciences, physical sciences
With a Ph.D. in art history and an extensive publication record in both popular and scholarly publications on a variety of subjects, I have two background areas of expertise to draw upon: the academic and the journalistic. This enables me combine scholarly detachment and attention to detail with the ability to pull together key ideas and arguments, organizing projected publications into smoothly flowing wholes. My technique is not to take over a manuscript and edit it myself, but rather to work back and forth with the author so that s/he retains full command of -- and sense of identification with -- the finished work.
