Hi and Hello

I’m Birgit

Transcreator. Copywriter. Tone of voice consultant. Or simply a motivated individual who loves wacky word combinations and believes in the power of linguistic confetti.

My motto? Personality ALL THE WAY!

Going the Extra Mile

I don’t believe in the bare minimum

I really enjoy what I do. My work is a large part of who I am and I want to be proud of what I deliver.

Okay, that sounds like a lot of me, me and even more me – but it’s a me you profit from, because it’s a me that makes sure your texts turn out great.

So: Let’s work together to create something we can truly be proud of!

Ensuring top quality

I always go above and beyond

Naturally, I do my best to always deliver top-quality texts to my clients – but if you decide to work with me, you’ll also get a little something extra.

100% reliability

It’s important to me that you never have to worry when you work with me. You can always rely on me to do whatever’s necessary to ensure that your project is a success and to always deliver on time. And, should an issue arise, you can be sure I’ll get in touch with you ASAP. 

Good vibes

We spend A LOT of our waking hours working. Which is why I think it’s important to be nice to one another! I like asking how your weekend was or how your dog is doing, and I’ve been known to crack a joke here and there – and I hope you do the same! 

Solid feedback

I always want my work to have a point – this is also a major source of motivation for me. And it’s why I speak up when I find a problematic passage, let you know if something doesn’t make sense and point out errors in the source text. So your texts truly make an impact.

Attention to detail

As the saying goes, the devil’s in the details. This is why I ask questions, check and double-check things, and make sure I truly understand what I’m reading. It’s the only way I can make sure that the details are actually correct – it might be annoying sometimes (sorry!), but it’s important.

Clear communication

Good communication is essential – both in the professional world as well as in our private lives. And, in my opinion, we can find a solution to every problem if we communicate with one another openly. So let’s talk about it!

I love words

In fact, language in all its forms has fascinated me throughout my entire life. It might sound a bit clichéd, but the written word is one of the great loves of my life.

1992–1998

From bookworm ...

From the moment I learned to read, I never stopped. My favourite books are fantasy novels. As a child, I devoured them – I spent entire weekends under the covers riding dragons in Alagaësia, travelling through Middle Earth with Hobbits and saving Hogwarts from the Dark Lord.
1992–1998
2002–2017

... to translation student ...

As my fascination for words grew and evolved, at some point I realized (somewhat against my will, I must admit) that I really liked languages. And since I always knew that I didn’t want to become a teacher and that I didn’t want to simply study a foreign language, I decided to pursue a degree in translation at the University of Graz.
2002–2017
since 2019

... then freelance transcreator ...

One master’s degree and 2.5 years in Ireland later, I realized: If I wanted to turn my passion into a career, I’d have to go freelance. After trying out several different things initially, I soon realized that the creative aspects of transcreation are what I truly enjoy – and what I’m best at.
since 2019
since 2022

... all the way to copywriter and ToV consultant.

Over the years, I have acquired new interests and did a lot of CPD in the fields of SEO and marketing before arriving at my current offer: Transcreation. Copywriting. Tone of voice consulting and style guide creation. After all, this is how I can put my creativity to good use and offer my clients true value.
since 2022

What else?

Want to learn some fun facts about me?

Okay! Firstly: I hate clothes shopping, but I absolutely love cooking. However, when I’m stressed out, it’s the first thing I remove from my to do list.

Even though I still really like reading, the fact that I now spend so much time working with texts has led to me often turning on the TV instead of reading a book.

You also want to know about my secret dream? Okay! I would love to write a fantasy epic one day – preferably with dragons – so that I can inspire others the way that authors like Naomi Novik, Christopher Paolini, Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks and Trudi Canavan inspired me.
