Life
After graduating from high school in Oberursel (Taunus) in 1991 , Heimburger studied at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf from 1992 to 1997 . She completed her studies as a qualified literary translator, with Spanish as an additional language . She translates freelance entertainment novels, children's books and non-fiction, with a focus on women's literature , contemporary literature , detective story , thriller and lit Chick . She sees colloquial texts as a particular challenge.
“My core competency is translating literature from English and Danish into German, but I also translate websites, product descriptions, advertising copy, etc. I don't translate word for word; I translate the message of the text into an authentic, appealing, untranslated German. In addition, I offer readings and lectures (on the subjects of language, translation in general, the books I have translated in particular) and can moderate these and lead workshops ... For (a personal) reason I can also speak on the subjects of children with disabilities , alternative communication, loss and grief contribute. "
Heimburger has been a board member of the Association of German-Language Translators of Literary and Scientific Works , VdÜ, since 2017 , after having been a member of its honorary commission since 2013. The Weltlesebühne Berlin and the BücherFrauen also belong to her fields of work.
