Franziska Humphrey – Translator

Translation is my absolute passion. When you entrust me with your novel, you’re not just getting a translation — you’re receiving a lovingly crafted German edition that preserves your voice, emotion, and the heart of your story. My goal is always the same: that your readers feel as if the book were originally written in German.

With nearly 10 years of experience, I’ve translated more than 150 romance novels across Contemporary, PNR, Romantasy, Comedy, LGBTIQ+, Dark, Military, YA. Many authors have trusted me with their entire backlist or full series — something I’m incredibly proud of.

Clear, friendly communication matters to me. I respond quickly, keep you updated, and support you wherever needed. And once we agree on a deadline, you can rely on me to meet it.

Attention to detail is at the core of my process. Every manuscript goes through two rounds of careful editing plus external proofreading, ensuring a polished, high‑quality text you can publish with confidence.

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.

Olivia T. Turner – OTT specialist, author of 150 Over The Top. Obsessed. Possessive to the Extreme‑alpha male stories:

Franzi is a real gem. I’ve hired her to translate several of my books into German and will continue to work with her in the future. She is reliable, professional and consistently delivers on time. I can't read German, but my translated books consistently receive high ratings in the German store, so I'll take my readers' word for it. To top it all, she is a genuine pleasure to work with.
