Immediate start of your project
You find the references convincing and the poject is urgent?
No need to wait, then. The start of your project is just a matter of minutes now.
Best way to do it: get in contact via direct mail on Proz.com (you don't need to sign up to do this). Please note that for direct business clients (as well as translation agencies that do not have a convincing ProZ.com BB board), processing of the translation order will be done via Elance. Which means you will have to pay the price for the service "upfront", however this does not mean that you will waive your right to release the payment, as this will be done by you either after delivery of the translation result to your satisfaction (or after 2 weeks if you forget about it).
(Terms for clients that order literary translations may be different and will be negotiated directly.)
