Nicole Lischewski – Translator

My specialty in crime fiction, historical and dystopian novels with a sprinkling of fantasy is at your service! As a German-Canadian freelancer for publishing houses like Harper Collins, Droemer Knaur, Bookouture, CrossCult, Luzifer Verlag, and others, I'd love to help your book break into the German-speaking market!

I love bringing across word play and the author's voice so German readers can have an authentic experience of your writing without it sounding stilted or translated. Yes, that's possible. I know how much you have slaved over each and every sentence, and will make sure I catch all those subtleties!

And rest assured - I'm a research nerd. I actually enjoy hunting down the correct scientific terms for a sci-fi thriller or double-checking the use of German expressions in the 1700s for historical fiction, and learning new to me weird facts. And because I proofread and go through my translations not just once, but twice, the editing process is pretty straightforward.

Apart from my love of language and books, I'm passionate about wildlife, nature, hiking and kayaking. I really like hands-on work like stained glass, sewing and carpentry, and have built my own cabin.

I figure life is very much about reaching our potential and making our dreams come true - I'd be thrilled to help you achieve your dream to have your book published in German!

And if you're also looking for a German proofreader or editor, I can arrange to have the translation professionally edited for you.
