I offer personalized editorial services to published, self-published and not yet published authors of fiction and non-fiction. I see and service the big picture, yet while I'm at it, I make sure that every comma is in the right place. My services include: writing, critique, development editing, line-editing.
I also offer German/English and English/German translation services for book length materials (memoirs, children's stories, YA novels) and movie scripts. I provide translations for corporations, production companies, publishers and individuals.
Snappy marketing copy flows from my pen, as do company profiles, research-based reports or educational materials on a variety of topics such as language arts, history, social studies and education.
I have led teams of freelance writers and editors, developing, creating, managing and delivering content in foreign language and language arts, interfacing with publishing executives, design and marketing professionals.

I hired Helga on numerous occasions to write, edit, translate and review a range of content. In every case her work has been superlative.

To this day, I have never met anyone who understands my writing better than Helga Schier. She got it. She got it even more than I got it. She found the promise in my novel, and her guidance helped fulfill this promise.
Michael Davis
Writer/Director, "Shoot ‘em Up"
When Helga entered the picture, my manuscript went from ‘promising’ to a published and critically acclaimed book. Quite simply, Helga is the best.
