Elke Will – Translator

I am a passionate literary translator from English to German. I have translated over 30 books, mostly thrillers. Translation of fiction is my addiction, my inner balance. I dive into the story; I am the "hero," and I will make it appealing and thrilling in the target language.

My translation style is vivid, not "academic." I discover the story while translating, which ensures that I am packed and thrilled, like the book's reader.

After finishing translating, I will proofread the book. Then, it will be sent to my proofreader, who will be my "test reader" and help eliminate typos, grammar problems, etc. In the end, I will proofread it myself again.
