German Self-Help Book Editor

I have a complete self-help manuscript that has already been translated from English into German; what I need now is a final editorial pass that will make every sentence feel as though it was conceived in German in the first place. My readership is college-educated, so word choice and idiomatic flow must be polished yet approachable, keeping the conversational tone of the original. You will work on two elements: • the cover copy (blurb, back-cover hooks, author bio) • the full interior text, line by line The draft is in Microsoft Word, and I’d like all edits shown with Track Changes so I can review each suggestion. Beyond catching grammar and punctuation issues, your focus should be stylistic: smoothing awkward phrasing, tightening structure, and replacing literal translations with expressions that resonate naturally with German readers. Consistency of terminology and an eye for culturally sensitive references are essential. Once the revised file is clean and approved, please provide: • the marked-up document with all changes visible • a second, final version with changes accepted and formatting intact If we collaborate well on this first title, a second manuscript in the same series will follow shortly, so I’m hoping to establish an ongoing partnership. Let me know your availability and a realistic turnaround time, and feel free to highlight any similar non-fiction projects you have edited before.
