Synopsis

Would you like to write in another language?

I took the decision early on in my career to write in English, even though it’s my third language after Finnish and Swedish. I believe that using different languages enriches your life and through that your writing.

In this book, I share with you a few practical tips to make it easier to write in another language. I also discuss topics such as how language affects our behaviour and share with you techniques I have found useful when writing in another language.

“Helena's experience and tips are excellent. She covers foreign language, language itself, and even writing as a whole. I highly recommend this book to anyone hoping to express themselves in a second language.” – Amy McCracken, Editor, Designer, and Author.

About this title

About the Author

Helena Halme grew up in Finland and moved to the UK in her twenties. A trilingual, she's a former BBC translator, journalist, magazine editor, and bookseller. Since gaining an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, Helena has published ten fiction and two nonfiction titles.

Helena believes that there are many benefits to writing in another language, which is why authors such as Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph Conrad, Elif Shafak, Karen Blixen, and many more have decided to write in another language.

During her fifteen-year career as a writer, Helena's language choice is something she's been asked a lot about, so she decided to note down her tips on how to write using a second or third language. The result is 'Write in Another Language: 10 Easy Steps'.
