Translation

 

Many factors make a good translation: finding the right words is essential, but so is finding the right tone and flow.

 

I translate from Dutch into English, specialising in books on international relations, history, art history, visual art, social science and politics. I also translate more general texts, from annual reports to creative and literary assignments.

 

 

Editing

 

Good writing makes all the difference: whether it’s a question of presenting the facts clearly, producing a persuasive argument, or making an excellent first impression. I work with clients to improve the level and impact of their texts. This includes proofreading, substantive editing and rewriting.

 

I am a member of the Dutch translators' and interpreters' association (NGTV) and SENSE, the Society of English Native-Speaking Editors in the Netherlands.
