As a PHD in German Philology and Modern History literature and humanities texts are my natural ground. Parallel to my work as technical and legal translator I offer literary translations and I intend to expand this business. My current projects are literal translations for the series 111 Orte by the German publisher Emons Verlag. 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 unique background in academic research, non-profit advocacy, and as a jazz vocalist gives me a peculiar depth of knowledge over wide-ranging topics. My translations are published by the University of Illinois Press and Upside Down World and my own writing in edited volumes by Cambridge Scholars Publishing and Oxford University Press. Favorite projects include song lyrics for Brazilian musicians touring in North America and translating interviews for a 2024 release with Renegade Books (UK).

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.

I have worked on 13 works of fiction and 8 works of non-fiction. My journey along the path of Russian translation began over 20 years ago at Cambridge University. In my most vivid memories of student life, I still see the 'ten mighty falcons and the singing swans' of The tale of Igor’s Campaign. Later, I lived in the Altai for 12 years where images of the swans were joined by bogatr and yurts pumping smoke... For more details on books translated by me, see my website altaipilgrim.com

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!
