"I got round to re-reading the text you revised for me and I liked it so much – there wasn't a single instance where I didn't agree with what you'd suggested!"

Intelligent German to English translations

As a fully qualified, professional translator with the additional benefit of copywriting experience, I take great pride in producing carefully crafted translations that read like original English copy.

I approach translation as a creative task and look behind the words to see the message each sentence aims to convey. If a straight translation doesn't work in English, I come up with an alternative wording that achieves the same objective.

I go to great lengths to make sure the style is right for the intended purpose and target readership. My aim is always to produce a translation that reads well and is crystal clear.

These are the sort of things I translate:

You can find a more comprehensive list of my translation work to date on the 'About me' page.

In addition, I am happy to offer a translation checking and 'translation rescue' service, as well as editing and proofreading of translations. These are usually charged at an hourly rate. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Copywriting and editing

Writing a piece of text for your own website can be quite a challenge. It's a lot easier if you get some help with it. This is where the copywriter comes in.

I can help you create crisp and pristine copy for your site (or brochure, or catalogue). I can do this based on your detailed instructions, sketchy notes or even just my own notes, having talked to you and asked you a few key questions.

If you've already written your copy, but would like a second pair of eyes to have a look at it and iron out any glitches or give you some feedback, I am also happy to help with this.

Let me take the headache out of creating your website. Simply call me or send me an email to find out what I can do for you.

Project Management

I am a skilled team coordinator and enjoy managing complex projects involving creative people. I am particularly good at moving things on that have got stuck.

So, if you've got a half-finished website project sitting on your to-do pile, or you know you should really do something about getting your marketing strategy off the ground, but don't know where to start, please get in touch. I may be able to help – or I can point you in the direction of someone who can.
