Speaking World
Nothing will be lost in translation

Born in 1963 in Germany, I spent most of my life in a small town near Cologne.
In 2001, I began working as a freelance translator. I moved to Scotland in 2006 and established my own translation business. Since 2007, I’ve been translating continuously for a major publishing company in the tourism industry, and I’ve also translated and localized various websites and blogs.

Too many wonderful books suffer from poor translations — and that’s a shame. A good translator must not only master both languages but also love reading, understand idioms, and know how to localize content so it resonates with the target audience. That’s where I come in. I love playing with language, and in my native German, I’m known for being eloquent and expressive. When I translate, nothing gets lost.

Your book is your baby. You've poured your heart into crafting characters, choosing the right words, and building a world your readers can truly inhabit. Let me help bring that world to life in German with the same care and creativity.

What do I like to read?

Fiction — romance, historical fiction, fantasy, mythology, folklore
Especially stories rooted in Celtic and Norse traditions, Irish and Scottish legends, and richly imagined worlds.

Favorites include:
The Lord of the Rings, Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover series and The House Between the Worlds, Nora Roberts’ trilogies, Harry Potter — and anything steeped in magic, myth, or mystery.
