About this Gig

Looking for a German to English book translator who won't flatten your voice into stiff, textbook correct sentences? That's the job here.


I translate full manuscripts and standalone chapters, novels, memoirs, nonfiction, from German into English, written the way a native English speaker would actually write it, not converted word for word. German sentence structure, idiom, and rhythm rarely survive a literal translation, so I rebuild them for an English reader instead of forcing a direct swap.


Every project starts the same way: you send an excerpt, I send back a sample and a timeline, and you decide from there whether the voice on the page sounds right. No obligation to commit to the full manuscript first.


This is manual translation only, no MT engines, no AI first-pass with light edits. If accuracy and natural English voice both matter to you, that distinction is the whole point.


Turnaround scales with length: a sample chapter in a few days, a full manuscript on a schedule we agree on upfront once I know the word count.
