About Christoph

Editing, Quality Assurance & Text Optimization (German/DACH)

I support companies, agencies, and publishers in preparing content to be linguistically correct, readable, and target-group-oriented. With over 15 years of experience in editing specialist and educational media, I ensure the highest quality in refining your texts.

My Focus Areas

  • Fine-tuning AI Texts:I optimize and "humanize" AI-generated drafts or translations so they sound natural, are easy to read, and use wording appropriate for the target audience.
  • Editing & Proofreading:Absolute error-free (spelling and grammar) as well as stylistic refinement for publications, articles, and web content.
  • DACH Localization:Professional adaptation of content for the German-speaking market.
  • E-learning & Content Creation:Conception and review of didactic content, quizzes, tests, and digital learning materials.

Profile & Working Method

It is important to me that texts are precise and reach their readers directly. I work thoroughly and with an eye for detail, which I bring from my many years of working on specialist books. My goal is a result that is technically correct and reads fluently.
