Textpraxis After graduating from university I was employed for 12 years at publishing houses - as an editor and project manager - before founding Textpraxis in 1998. My decision to specialize in the fields of politics, social studies and education was influenced by the book projects I managed before going solo. Since further qualifying as a professional translator, I have worked on policy publications for public and non-profit organisations in Germany and abroad. I learned my trade from scratch and regularly keep up do date with new developments. When a client engages my services, they benefit from a store of knowledge and experience accumulated through hundreds of book publishing and translation projects and a total of 37 years in the profession.
