As a PHD in German Philology and Modern History literature and humanities texts are my natural ground. Parallel to my work as technical and legal translator I offer literary translations and I intend to expand this business. My current projects are literal translations for the series 111 Orte by the German publisher Emons Verlag. I already finished the book 111 Orte in Umbrien (ISBN 9783740802387), the next confirmed projects are Malta (by April) Langhe (by July) and Naples (by October).

My usual topics are of a more technical nature but then I wanted to try my hand at thrillers/novels which worked out very well. Taking the characters' view and weighing every word, every nuance, was interesting and fun.
By now I have translated these books:
Love Target by Heidi Loeb Hegerich (novel)
Jump Cut (German title: Bildsprung) by Libby Fischer Hellmann (thriller)
as well as four shorter novels which are not yet in print.

In terms of content, I'm most interested in your work's ideational world and getting that across in translation, whether that means adhering closely to the source text's syntax and semantics to maintain a strong German Sprachgefühl, or linguistically adding and adjusting as appropriate for an English one. In terms of form, prose and poetry are my forte. But my creativity's highly visual orientation naturally leans towards comics and screenplays as well. Let's talk about your next project!

As a crazy book lover, translating books is one of my most favorite pastimes. Yes, I am doing it not only to make money, but because also I truly enjoy it. I have started reading novels and fiction in elementary school and 30 years on, I still do everyday. Currently, I am translating a non-fiction book on the history of non-alcoholic drinks. Please contact me for a free test. I'd love to translate your book.
