Julia Fuchs

Julia Fuchs – Translator

I'm a professional English to German literary translator and editor with many years of experience, and I now also offer audiobook services.

Overview

Hey there, I’m Julia. I’m a literary translator from Germany with a university degree in translation and over twenty years of experience as a full-time freelance translator.

I translate contemporary women’s fiction, cosy mysteries and suspense novels from English into German, and I also offer assessment, editing and proofreading services. I just love telling a good story, and I’m passionate about creating flawless, compelling texts that are true to the original and read like an original.

I’d be very happy to recreate your book in my mother tongue for you or to put the finishing touches to your German manuscript and to help you win a broader audience that will love your work.

By the way, I also love audiobooks, and I recently completed a training as a speaker because I wanted to be able to tell stories in this way, too. Just starting out on this now, as of May 2026. So if you’d like to also sell your work on Audible in the future, please get in touch.

I can provide you with a publication-ready German version of your book and I’d love to hear from you!
