German-English translation for fiction authors
As an author and avid reader fluent in German, I often wonder why I haven’t started translating sooner. After translating my own books, I’m ready to offer this service to you. Why translate your works into German, you ask? Germans are voracious readers, making up the second largest market after English. Translating to German will expand your reach to countless new, excited readers! My start-up pricing will help you get there at a fraction of the typical industry cost.

NOTE: Before publishing any manuscript, whether in English or German, it’s highly advised to have it copy-edited and/or proofread. This remains the same with a translation. While I will do my best to deliver a clean translation, I’m only human, so please have your manuscript edited before publishing!
