The internet can often be an impersonal place, so allow us to introduce ourselves, the owners of World to Writers. Just a warning, there may be some writing in the 3rd person involved.

Chris Yeomans is a graduate of the British Institute in Paris (University of London), the very place where he met Luke in the university café. The degree gave a solid grounding in language acquisition and usage with specialised lectures in translation for two of the three year course.

Since then he has spent several years living, working and studying across Europe. He holds a post-graduate qualification in law, having specialised in the European Union. He has eight years experience as a freelance writer and journalist and has filed copy from locations such as Prague, Tallinn, Madrid and Stockholm on a number of topics.

His translation specialisms are law, social science and business and he translates from French and Spanish to English.

Luke Spear MCIL completed his three year degree course in Paris soon after Chris and long after being switched on to French at seven years old when his family moved to Canada. After graduating, he soon started translating part-time while working in the French department of a charismatic company that sold plastic pens. The translation soon took off and after some more time in France managing a Swedish restaurant he moved to Sweden as a full time translator.

Now with a linguists eye on the world and two languages under his belt, the determination to continue to work with languages drove him to work with Chris to create World to Writers.

Luke is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and a Member of the Federation of Small Businesses.

As linguists, Luke and Chris pay a lot of attention to detail in text. The quality of their work being a reflection of the pride in what they’ve worked hard to learn, they aim to please by returning perfect translation and writing with great communication throughout the working process.
