My native languages are Dutch (Flemish) and English (UK), courtesy of a Belgian father and British mother. I grew up in Belgium, attending bilingual (Dutch and French) school, and went on to study linguistics in the Netherlands. I've spent the past fifteen years living in the UK and US. I've worked as a freelance copy editor/proofreader and writer, and have six years of experience as a translator. I specialise in literary fiction/art (briefs, synopses, full manuscripts) but regularly work in other fields as well, including social science, human resources, marketing, advertising and public relations, medical (general; health care) and general (conversations, letters etc.). I offer translation, proofreading/editing, post-editing and transcription.
