I translate books and poems from Dutch to English.
I will also take on smaller translation projects - e.g. short stories, sample translations, book reports, essays and academic articles - as well as proofreading, editing and copywriting projects in English.
MY PROMISE TO YOU
Whatever project you entrust me with, whether it is large or small, you can be assured of my creativity, precision and enthusiasm. My broad background, varied experience, and wide range of knowledge enable me to work on many types of projects with equal dedication and professionalism.
“Thank you so much for your valuable help and contribution! For me, this has been a very rewarding cooperation.
