All writers and translators at mitanderenworten are native speakers who draw on many years of experience. We work professionally to a high level of quality and in accordance with the latest standards. This means that we pay attention not only to spelling, grammar and semantics but also to the silent meanings between the lines, to cultural sensitivities and to the socio-political impact of respective text passages.
At mitanderenworten we are aware of the significance of language

Mira attended a bilingual school in her home country and had her first experience in interpreting at around 6 years old, explaining her overeager father’s business ideas to venture capitalists who were on vacation in Albania. Like many children of emigrant parents, she interpreted in government offices, courts and various institutions in Austria for family and friends, before realizing how burdening that can actually be (2 decades later during her psychotherapeutic training). The social worker/pedagogue and mom of a teenager has been working as a ghostwriter for the last few years and at mitanderenworten – apart from writing – she is responsible for logistics and client support as well as the coordination of authors. Her favorite topics are social work and pedagogy, psychotherapy, care work, sex work, feminism and literature. She prefers to translate books, write prose, scientific papers and press releases. Mira regularly dreams of spa weekends far, far away. Her languages are German, English and Albanian.

What is an intersectional analysis?
When we analyze a text intersectionally, we examine both its effect on the reader and the socially relevant dimension of the content. The term “intersectionality” was coined in the 1980s by U.S. attorney Kimberlé Crenshaw and describes the intersection of different forms of discrimination. For the focus of our work at mitanderenworten, this means finding answers to the following questions:
- Are cultures, regions, or people in your text being portrayed or addressed in a problematic way?
- Does your text contain passages, categories, or terminology that might have discriminatory or marginalizing effects?
- What discourse(s) does your content dock to?
- Does it strengthen relationships or does it promote damaging relational thinking by being written in a racist, sexist, or otherwise exclusionary way?
- Can you expect a shitstorm with your content? How can you prevent it?
