Translating, Editing and more

Professional Literary Translations at affordable prices

Hi Queen!

Translating is so much more than simply using your words and turning them into their German counterparts. Finding the right translator and sharing your story with a second person who treats it like their own is a magical bond between two souls who share the same values (okay, and story!). It's understanding your melody and writing a cover song for it. It's crying and being in pain when your characters are, and making sure these feelings you had when writing it, are projected through our words.

We treat your book baby like it were our own, and that means that we only want what's best for it. That's why we don't just take your story literally, but we get to know you and your voice through your words, we FEEL the intention and impact you were looking for with your word choices, and we rewrite and recreate your story in a way that the exact same feeling is transferred to your German readers.

And THAT is the difference between a good translator and a bad, between a literary translator and a machine.
