I'm a native-English editor and text writer from New Zealand who moved to the Netherlands in 1980. I speak Dutch fluently and feel very much at home in this country. I have trained as a journalist (London School of Journalism) and as a language editor (ITV/Hogeschool, Utrecht) and have 20 years experience of scientific, technical and medical publishing working with Elsevier Science. Since 2001, I have gained broad experience in my freelance business, language-editing papers in a range of academic disciplines. I have edited books for Wolters-Noordhoff and write both commercial and creative texts for big organisations as well as individuals. To showcase my writing talents, I maintain a blog, 'Bashful Blagger' at www.NEEDSer.blogspot.com
