German Creative Text Proofreading
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a piece of creative writing that was originally crafted in English and has already been translated into German. Before I move forward with publication, I need a sharp-eyed proofreader to give the German version a final polish.
Your task is to read the entire text, correct any grammatical or punctuation errors, and, most importantly, make sure the language feels natural, vivid, and truly German in tone. Because it is creative prose, I value rhythm, imagery, and idiomatic flair just as much as strict accuracy, so please feel free to suggest stylistic tweaks where they will enhance the flow.
Deliverables:
• A marked-up document (using Track Changes or similar) showing every correction and suggestion.
• A clean, ready-to-publish German version.
Please be a native-level German speaker with demonstrable experience editing fiction, short stories, or comparable creative material. If you’re comfortable juggling nuance, humor, and voice, I’d love to collaborate with you.
