    Take Note! IA Co-President Katharine Allen to Pen Book on Note-Taking

    InterpretAmerica is proud to announce that IA Co-President has been commissioned to author a book on note-taking for consecutive interpreting in non-conference settings. 

    The following is an excerpt from Cross Cultural Communications weekly newsletter. You can sign up for Intersect here.

    Culture and Language Press is thrilled to announce we will have a new title coming out later this year--a great contribution to the field of community interpreting. The working title is:

    TAKE NOTE
    Strategies for Successful Note-taking in Interpreting
    by Katharine Allen, MA

    Let's face it: most community interpreters are not effective note-takers. Yet the need to master note-taking is huge, and far too long ignored. Most conference interpreters are well trained in note-taking. Not so community, court and business interpreters.

    Your time is coming. In November 2013, an extraordinary book by the Co-President of InterpretAmerica and a national leader in our field will [be published].

    Note-taking is a vital skill. This book fills a huge gap and will provide practical guidance and field-tested techniques to help working interpreters improve their note-taking skills.
