FAQ
Do you edit both German and English texts?
Yes, I work fluently in both languages, whether your manuscript is originally in German, English, or needs corrections after translation. You'll get the same careful, native-level attention either way.
What's the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading fixes grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Editing goes further, improving clarity, flow, and pacing so your writing reads smoothly from start to finish. Tell me what your manuscript needs, and I'll recommend the right level.
Can you handle my full manuscript, not just a sample?
Absolutely. I regularly work on full-length novels, nonfiction, and self-help books. Send your word count and I'll confirm turnaround time and pricing before we start.
Will I receive tracked changes or a clean copy?
Both. You'll get a fully tracked version so you can see every edit, plus a clean final copy ready for publishing or the next stage of your process.
