Summary

I’m looking for a native German proofreader to review a children’s journal after I translate it from English into German. This job is not for translation from scratch, but to check my translation for mistakes, unnatural phrasing, grammar, spelling, and overall fluency. The journal is for children aged 6 to 11, so I need someone who can make sure the German is correct, natural, and age-appropriate. I will provide the translated text, and I want it checked carefully so it reads smoothly and is ready for publication. The content will be ready in about one week. I’m working with a tight budget, so please include your quote and expected turnaround time in your proposal. Experience with children’s content or proofreading translations would be a plus.
