I am a writer myself: short stories, drafts of books, many articles and a few poems. My languages grades at school were always the highest of the class.
I have been an eager book reader, also foreign ones, which implies at least translating its meaning in one's mind.
I have translated many excerpts from different books, as a free work for the public.
The last one is from a best selling novel, committed by a publisher.
I am proud of the quality of my work and ready to translate a whole book.
