I already finished the book 111 Orte in Umbrien (ISBN 9783740802387), the next confirmed projects are Malta (by April) Langhe (by July) and Naples (by October).

My usual topics are of a more technical nature but then I wanted to try my hand at thrillers/novels which worked out very well. Taking the characters' view and weighing every word, every nuance, was interesting and fun.
By now I have translated these books:
Love Target by Heidi Loeb Hegerich (novel)
Jump Cut (German title: Bildsprung) by Libby Fischer Hellmann (thriller)
as well as four shorter novels which are not yet in print.

In terms of content, I'm most interested in your work's ideational world and getting that across in translation, whether that means adhering closely to the source text's syntax and semantics to maintain a strong German Sprachgefühl, or linguistically adding and adjusting as appropriate for an English one. In terms of form, prose and poetry are my forte. But my creativity's highly visual orientation naturally leans towards comics and screenplays as well. Let's talk about your next project!
