A High-Quality Literary Translation

Pursuing my passion for the English language has resulted in 12 published translations with bestseller rankings, great relationships with my clients, and enthusiastic readers who left over 1.300 glowing book reviews to date.

I love taking on interesting projects and cherish working with dedicated self-publishing authors and indie publishers. Let’s talk about your book!

How to reach your German audience

To invest in a professional translation only for it to be swallowed up by the myriad of new publications every day is a publisher’s worst nightmare. I want your book to succeed and will help you to find a fitting German title, an interesting blurb, and sales-boosting keywords for ebook platforms.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the requirements of an unfamiliar market. Thanks to my publishing experience, I can help you navigate the German book market with reliable information.

Professional Proofreading

No one wants to find out that their book is garnering negative reviews due to avoidable typos and spelling errors. But just like authors, translators sometimes make mistakes.

I am committed to quality, which is why I work closely with professional proofreaders who catch those mistakes before publication. If you already have a proofreader, I will happily work with them to ensure the best experience for your readers.
