About

Accurate, idiomatic translations

I'm a GermanEnglish translator, mainly with experience in literary and poetic translation, though if the job required it I would be more than prepared to do the necessary amount of rigorous research to ensure the highest-quality, most accurate translation in most any other field.

I'm a native US English speaker and I first started teaching myself German in high school after years of oscillating between all the languages I'd periodically become fascinated with and obsess over before becoming interested in another. Since then, I've translated the book "Lebensblätter" by Richard Dehmel, a collection of short stories published in the early 20th century which I found in a used bookstore in Pennsylvania and translated for practice. You can find my translations for some of these stories on my profile and the rest on my portfolio website https://justinverceles.github.io/jv-translations/, which I built myself in HTML and CSS.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Work Terms

My rate is typically between $0.08 and $0.10 per word, but this is negotiable. My timezone is ET, but because my day job currently has me work overnight, I may be unable to respond to messages for several hours during the day; however, I will always make sure to respond within the same day.
