Franziska Humphrey – Translator

Transform your story with an expert English-German translator: 150+ novels, romance: contemporary, paranormal, YA, fantasy, dark and more.

Overview

Translation is my absolute passion! When you entrust me with your novel, you’re not just getting a translation; you’re receiving a beautifully crafted manuscript in flawless German. My translations capture the essence of your unique voice, ensuring that the emotions, atmosphere, and tone resonate just as powerfully as in the original. Your readers will feel as if the story was originally penned in German.


With over 6 years of experience, I’ve translated over 150 novels across various romance genres, including contemporary, paranormal, dark (with explicit and steamy content), romantic comedy, military, and YA fiction. Many authors have entrusted me with their entire backlist or series, a testament to the quality and reliability of my work.


I pride myself on open and honest communication, responding promptly to inquiries and emails, and always offering my assistance where needed. Once we set a deadline, you can rest assured that your manuscript will be delivered on time.


Attention to detail is paramount in my work. Every text undergoes two rounds of meticulous editing and external proofreading, ensuring a high-quality, polished final product.


Here is what some of my clients say about my work:


Anna Lowe–USA Today & Amazon best-selling author of travel, adventure, and paranormal romance:

Franziska is fast, flexible, and 100% reliable. German readers consistently leave reviews that praise qualities like “smooth writing style,” “well written,” and “lots of humor, emotion and suspense.” These reviews closely mirror comments on the English originals and are a testament to the fine quality of Franzi’s work. As a fluent German speaker, I can attest to these qualities first-hand. I value Franzi’s flexibility, reliability, and commitment to capturing the essence of a story.


Lilian Monroe–Award-winning, bestselling author of contemporary romance:

Franzi has been translating my books into German for nearly four years, and it's been an absolute joy to work with her. She's always on time and great at communicating. Her work is excellent, and I look forward to doing many more projects with her! I highly recommend her for anyone who needs their work translated into German.

It was a pleasure to work with Franziska, and she also used the services of a proofreader to ensure the quality of the final translation. The result is very much appreciated!
