I am passionate about finding an author's voice, then rendering it in a high quality, idiomatic, entertaining English style.
I have studied translation in Hildesheim and have a first class honours degree in German language. I have also gained the IoLET Diploma in Translation, achieving merits in both Literature and Science.
An example of my translation work can be found here:

My favourite genres are magical realism, fantasy and science fiction novels, and I am always on the lookout for new and exciting literature in either language.
Please note: during 2020, I will not be available for new translation projects here. I will update availability as circumstances change.
