Swantje Moeller – Translator

Experienced native ENG-GER translator for contemporary literature with 60+ translations, including USA Today & NYT bestselling authors

Overview

I have been translating professionally for 10+ years and have experience across genres – Crime, Romance, Fantasy, Drama, you name it. I have worked with a motley crew of indie authors, from emerging talent to authors with multiple New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels, such as Renee Rose and Anna Hackett. I'm sure you'll fit right in!

As a veritable language lover myself (some say nerd), and with over 60 translated novels under my belt, I'll make sure that you will receive an engaging and lively translation that truthfully conveys the story, style and language of your work, helping you find a new readership and more fans of your books on the international market.

Machine translations are a no-go for me, but I'm happy to provide thorough proofreading, careful formatting, and on time delivery, so you're all set for capturing a new readership.

Each translation will be spellchecked & proofread, formatted according to the source document, and delivered as a Word file.

And to make sure we're a good fit, I'm happy to offer a short sample translation of your novel.

Sounds like a good fit? Let's chat!
