Welcome to the Black Squirrel Translator Collective

The flexibility of freelancers, the ease of an agency.
​
Founded in 2016, we are a group of women Spanish to English translators who graduated from Kent State University's Master's program in Spanish>English Translation. 
We provide translation, editing, and proofreading services for Spanish>English projects, and each project has a designated project manager.

The collective is named after the unofficial mascot of the city of Kent, Ohio, the black squirrel.
