Why should I choose you?
Thanks for asking! Besides an advanced English course during my Abitur, I've studied English for some time at university. After deciding that I wanted to do something more practical, I intentionally chose an international company which provided me with an intensive course and a TOEIC certificate. During the last years I've also been keeping up to date with English and German literature.
What does the schedule look like?
The best would be a sample translation of about three pages. If both of us are happy with the result, please send me the whole amount of standard pages of your manuscript so I can prepare an offer for you. If you accept, I would like you to pay an 10% fee in advance. Then my part of the work begins. As soon as the first draft is finished and the editorial phase starts, I will give you an update. Depending on the length of your manuscript, the process can take up to 12 weeks, so please have so patience but I can promise that it's worth it!
If you'd like to work with me, send me a message and I can provide you with a sample of my translation (about 3 standard pages).
Contact me for any more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which genre do you work with?
I work with most fictional texts. The only exceptions are horror and thriller and I also won't do any academic or non-fiction work.
How long does a translation usually take?
Depending on the length of your manuscript, it takes something between 6 and 8 weeks for one round. But in combination with the recommended editing, it will take another 4 weeks.
Is the manuscript I get ready for release?
Yes and no. Depending on the package you order I can either give you just the translation without editing or a proper layout. But there is also the full package where I can provide you with a manuscript that's ready for release - minus a cover. I can provide you with several good designer I work with as well but the choice is yours in the end.
What are my payment options?
Before we begin working together, I expect a 10% payment upfront. Of course, this sum will be deducted at the end. You can pay up to three rates, depending on the sum. You can either pay per bank transfer or Paypal!
