SB Editorial|Editing & Translation

Editorial Services

I provide editing, proofreading and German-English translation services to publishers, organisations and individuals aiming to deliver a more polished final product. As a Senior Editor at HarperCollins Publishers, I played a significant role in prestige projects such as the Collins German Dictionary (Complete & Unabridged Edition) for advanced learners, and the Collins Easy Learning German Dictionary for beginners. I was also involved in many publishing projects with international Copublishers such as Langenscheidt in Germany, Le Robert in France and FLTRP (Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press) in China.

A close-up of a printed manuscript spread across a smooth, pale oak table, every margin marked with precise red and blue proofreading symbols. A transparent ruler, sticky notes with neatly written corrections, and a sleek black fountain pen rest on the pages. In the background, slightly out of focus, lies a tidy stack of approved, bound documents with colored spine labels. Soft, overcast window light washes over the paper, enhancing the texture of the fibers and the crispness of the ink. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with sharp focus on the annotated lines, the atmosphere is meticulous, orderly, and reassuringly thorough, emphasizing professional proofreading accuracy in a realistic photographic style.

A meticulously arranged wooden desktop featuring an open hardcover style guide, a silver laptop displaying a clean document with tracked changes, and a bilingual German-English dictionary with color-coded tabs. Fine-tipped pens and adhesive page markers sit neatly beside a minimalist ceramic mug of tea. The scene is set near a tall window with soft, diffused daylight creating gentle reflections on the laptop surface and subtle shadows along the page edges. Photographed at eye level with a slight angle, using shallow depth of field to keep the central tools crisp while the background bookshelf fades into a soft blur. The mood is professional, calm, and focused, with a clean, modern, photographic realism that reflects high-end editorial services.

Bespoke Editing
