Native Icelandic speaker and fluent in English (CEFR C2). I've worked as a translator both here, through Fiverr and with agencies and private clients. I can translate medical, legal, technical and of course general texts. My rates are as follows: General text translations: $0.07/word Medical/legal/technical: $0.9/word Proofreading: $0.045/word Please note that I do not do MTPE, and the proofreading rate only applies to man made translations. I prefer to work with Trados files, but I can also handle Word and Excel documents. Translating PDF files might require an additional fee if the file is a photocopy that needs to be retyped before translating.

✔️ I write copy for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to make more money in their businesses and ventures. I do this using a message that is aligned with you and your service/product. Let me take care of your copy for you, and you can start to worry about how you're going to spend all the extra money you'll be making ($$$) My name is Óskar Bragi – and the focus of my copywriting is not to use words that are hard to understand. My focus is on getting your message out there into the world, loud and clear. I write copy for Emails, Sales Letters, Websites, and Facebook Ads. I help seven-figure earners who need good copy, whether it's emails, ads, sales pages, or content such as blogs, articles, or Instagram captions. Sigurður Hermannsson, Icelandic Teacher, IcelandicMadeEasier.com: "Óskar did some copywriting for me, and I was very impressed with the speed of the work. I also had never thought Grammarly could be used for copywriting like this, but Óskar knows his way around that program!" Meeyoung Lepore, Yoga Teacher, owner of Hiking with Aloha: “Oskar was a pleasure to work with and very professional. He helped me set up my website and generate traffic to my business Facebook page. He helped me reword some descriptions and posts to help generate more interest. He also created a FAQ page to get me to think about questions potential clients may have how to address their concerns. Oskar has a great personality and sense of humor. He seems well rounded and knowledgeable in many things. I would recommend him to create copy or content for any business.” I come from a sales background, so I know the importance of delivering a sale. That is ultimately what my service is geared towards, getting you the result you need. In fact, I am so committed to getting the result you deserve that I'm willing to put a 100% guarantee on my services. That means that if you don't get the copy, you're looking for, you don't have to pay me. No questions asked. I am easy to work with, you can count on me to be reachable, I provide updates, and my work is thorough. So if you need help with writing, you don't like doing it yourself, or you can do it but don't have the time, OR you want a professional to do it... Then I think we can work together. Send me a message, and we'll set up a call. Looking forward to working with you. Your friend, Óskar Bragi Stefánsson

I am a hardworking Master's Degree graduate from Bournemouth University. I majored in Investigative Forensic Psychology. The curriculum was extremely informative and well-prepared me for a future career in the Criminal Justice arena. From a young age, I always envisioned myself working in this sector when older, and the program has confirmed that I am on the right path. Furthermore, as a member of several minority groups, I have always been highly enthusiastic about victims’ advocacy as ambitious that Justice is served, especially because violence and abuse are often something that the victim does not have control over, that unfortunately, we have seen lead to complex trauma and mental disorders. I am, therefore, particularly keen on working with others to produce/create that perfect project relating to the many subject matters of criminal Justice. * I can assist you with writing briefs, reports or academic research (APA).
