Bio


How I came to where I am today:

After I finished university and had gained first experience
as a part-time translator for Roche Diagnostics'
(Mannheim/Germany) marketing department I decided to take a deep dive into Russian culture – I relocated to
Moscow, where I stayed permanently for six turbulent years.

When I returned to Germany, I had a Russian husband, two
children and vast experience as a translator for Russian, English and Geram - all possible combinations of those. Since 2015, I have been living in a
bilingual environment.

Settling down in Germany again, I obtained official
certification and became a sworn translator for the Russian language. Nevertheless, I continued to translate more from English to German than from Russian to German.

However, in recent years I have been
focussing more and more on my passion - literature translation. Fiction, and
especially fantasy literature, is my area of expertise. For me, this meant going "back
to the roots" – having worked as a freelance journalist and writer during
my university years and writing my Master thesis on the topic of "Herman
Melville's Moby Dick as a Gothic Novel". Yes, I originally enrolled
for English and Russian linguistics and literature studies (at Mannheim
University) with the idea in mind that I would translate Russian and English
fiction authors into my native language - maybe even my favourite ones. – And
here I am. 

I never compromise on quality and would
rather decline a job than offer cheap rates and “rush it through” then, so that
it pays off for me. Yes, this is difficult, with state-of-art translation tools
“stealing” translators more and more of their work, but this is exactly where
QUALITY makes the fundamental difference.

I am a “detail freak”. I like revising and re-revising my translations and
polishing them – until I feel I have the best possible wording. This is how I
understand my job, and I know it is vital to do so to catch the “tone and feel”
of a piece of literature and transport the author’s voice.

I do also have expertise in self-publishing
in Germany and can answer questions and help authors to get their translations
published (as e-books and print-on-demand books).

Looking forward to hearing from you.
