So, what can I do for you?

Translation

I love to translate Dutch texts into flowing English that’s just right for your audience and captures the essence of what you want to say. It might be an entire website, a white paper, a film script or an important speech; whatever the text, your voice and key messages will shine through. And I’ll localise your text while I’m at it, paying special attention to those subtle cultural nuances that stick out like a sore thumb and alienate your target audience when they’re not quite right.

Copy editing

Have you written a press release in English that needs a native speaker to make it shine, or some website copy that would benefit from an expert eye? An article that needs some structural editing and fact-checking to ensure it flows, makes sense, is accurate, consistent and enticing to readers? Or maybe you’ve got a machine translation that sounds a bit “off” – because, let’s be honest, it often does – and it could do with being reviewed by a human.

Proofreading

Your text is just about ready to go out into the world, but there’s nothing quite like an extra pair of eyes to take a final look over it. Whether it’s a LinkedIn post, a flyer, a newsletter or an entire annual report, I can help with those finishing touches and reassure you that it’s as clean as it can be. So you can publish with confidence.

Editorial production

For magazines and brochures, I can provide a complete project management service – that’s everything from commissioning writers and photographers, editing copy and briefing designers through to choosing images, writing headlines and delivering perfect proofs. I love to shepherd projects like this all the way from concept to delivery.

Is something missing?

I’m always interested in a challenge, so if you don’t see what you need here, feel free to ask. I love a short deadline, too, so don’t hesitate to send last-minute requests my way. And if I can’t do it, I’d be happy to recommend a fellow freelancer who fits the bill perfectly.
