I translate German fiction and creative nonfiction into English from bestselling authors such as Sebastian Fitzek, Charlotte Roth, Vincent Kliesch, Frank Goldammer, Werner Sonne, and Andreas Kollender, among others. I also translate samples and marketing materials for publishers, agencies, and film clients.
In addition to translating, I'm the author of the Kaspar Brothers novels and other books. Show Game is my latest novel. I'm also a freelance editor and story mentor. For more, including credits, see: www.stephenfanderson.com/translation
