Copy-editing: Vegan in Topform

Copy-editing of the fitness and nutrition guide Vegan in Topform (November 2014)

For this project, I was commissioned to check the content and facts in the existing German translation as well as to review the style and grammar. While the working translation did not contain any major errors, it was still very much an unpolished draft. I was able to take the style and grammar to the next level and fix a number of minor bloopers.
