Experience

Why you should hire me

I'm a UK-born native English speaker resident and registered in Berlin.
 

I have more than 20 years' experience as a writer and editor.
 

I'm especially good at debugging translations  – copy, headlines, speeches or scripts – to make sure your words have the idiomatic colour you want and your audience needs.

 

When creating new content I will always put your audience first and work to three abiding principles:

  • What's story (and why should I be interested)?

  • Get to the point.

  • Tell me something I don't know.

 

I have worked freelance, in-house and for agencies, and have hands-on knowledge of the tech, entertainment, telecom, finance and travel industries.
