Clear and impactful writing
Make it stand out.
I am a native English speaker, writer and copywriter based in Bergen, Norway. Multilingual and with an international background, I can translate your environmental and conservation content into impactful messages that reach your audience. I work in English and Norwegian.
My Services
-
I write prose (articles, blog posts, press releases, social media posts, reports, academic texts) and poetry (nature photography & book project).
-
I write marketing and business content for promoting different types of actions from readers.
Examples are summary reports, content for websites, newsletters, social media, brochures, banners.
-
I have a lot of experience editing texts for publication.
When copy-editing I work on the copy so that it is clear while retaining the meaning and the author’s voice. I look at the following: structure, consistency in presentation, language, tone, clarity of the text, readability and how comprehensible it was at the level of the readership expected, spelling, grammar, punctuation, checking references, and font/spacing/formatting issues.
When proofreading a document, I clean up mechanical inconsistencies overlooked throughout the editing process. In short I spot and fix mistakes (e.g. punctuation, formatting, on-page layout).
-
A picture is worth a thousand words. Do you need a photographer? An image that creates an impact? I capture abstractions and angles, animals and nature, architecture and people. I’ll help you raise awareness for your cause.
-
I translate texts in English, Norwegian and French.
