The Client
As an editor in Europe, my clients are primarily non-native English speakers presenting publications for an international audience. Whether they are Danish concept-makers, Czech sociologists, or German policymakers, I ensure that their ideas are presented clearly, effectively, and professionally.
The Project
It’s about what the client wants, not the editor. As a former journalist, I respect the great efforts required to create a text. My goal is to preserve the author’s voice while applying the needed technical, grammatical, and stylistic conventions so that the audience can focus on the message.
The Commitment
A good reputation is earned through many actions and lost by one. I have built my reputation one project at a time over several years with dozens of clients. Editing is about details … but more importantly, it’s about reliability. As deadlines become shorter and business hours ever longer, I provide realistic delivery estimates and always meet my deadlines so that my clients can meet theirs.
