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.

I am a translator by training. My literary translation journey started at university in Lima, Peru when I was a student who needed to finish projects for the literary translation workshops every day. We translated essays from George Orwell, for example, as well as other contemporary British and American writers. In the German language, we translated writers like Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse and Friedrich Nietzsche, Christa Wolf, etc. I love literary translation.

Working on the English translation of "The Anti-Semite Makers", a political volume by Abraham Melzer, a German Jew who is highly critical of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and who resents the manner in which even Jews who fit that description are labeled "Anti-Semites" by the Israeli government and its supporters. We are looking for an English-language publisher. German publisher: Westend, Berlin

Native speaker of US English with Ph.D. in German Literature from the University of CA-Berkeley. I started my literary translating career while still in graduate school, translating Early Modern German texts associated with my dissertation, and have continued on from there. Most recently, I have translated some of Rainer Maria Rilke's short stories and an "indie" young adult novel by an up-and-coming author. My aim is always to make the English text sound perfectly fluid and native.

I am a published writer of fiction and I write in collaboration with a filmmaker in writing film scripts.
I have over fifteen years of experience as a translator in many areas, and in terms of literary works, beginning in 2013 and via agencies, have ended up translating short stories, poems, songs, the occasional play and film script, a few children’s books, philosophical essays, and literary criticism. It would be a pleasure for me to do more of the same.

As an avid reader with a literary education (Master's degree in English Literature, BA Comparative Literature), I am open to all literary projects.
However, my past experience and specialized knowledge focuses on non-fiction books in the equestrian / dog training / animal psychology niche.
In 2019, I translated the equestrian guide Dressage Dynamics by international judge and horse trainer Beth Baumert for the German Franckh Kosmos Verlag, to be published in German by autumn 2020.

I've been translating for film and TV since 1999, and in 2012 changed direction somewhat to novels. So far, my work has focused on fantasy and historical-romance novels for AmazonCrossing, Fischer Tor and Piper Verlag, including bestsellers from Bernhard Hennen and Petra Durst-Benning. Australian by birth, widely traveled, I completed my MFA in fiction writing at the University of Oregon in 1995. In 1996, I was shortlisted for the prestigious Australian/Vogel Award for young writers.

I don't have a favourite genre, but the authors I enjoyed to read the most were Kafka, Aldous Huxley, Zola, Cormac McCarthy, Murakami, Tolstoy, Tcheckov, Ali Smith, Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, Selim Özdogan, among others. I am not a fan of fantasy. I love reading comics like the ones from Jiro Taniguchi, Quino or Bill Watterson. So far I have translated short stories and Theatre Plays in Seminars at the University and two books of Özdogan for my recreation.
