FAQ
Do you use AI tools like DeepL or ChatGPT to proofread the German text?
No, absolutely not. German grammar, tone, and regional idioms (Germany vs. Austria/Switzerland) are incredibly nuanced. I review your manuscript line-by-line manually to ensure your narrative voice stays authentic, professional, and natural to native readers.
. Which book layout dimensions and trim sizes do you support?
I support all international and European publishing standards. This includes the popular US/UK formats like 6" x 9" and 5.5" x 8.5", as well as German standard formats such as DIN A5 and the European standard (15.24 x 22.86 cm) for KDP paperbacks and hardcovers.
What formats do I need to submit, and what will I receive back?
Please submit your text in an editable document like Microsoft Word (.docx). For the final delivery, you will receive a fully proofread tracked-changes file, a print-ready PDF file configured with the proper print margins, and a reflowable .epub file for Amazon Kindle and Tolino.
