Book hamper

Parcel from Rotterdam! 📦📚✈️

It's still fun to be able to hold the results of your labours, and books by mo'media, Time to Momo, and Fjord always feel like presents. And I'm loving the Christmas hamper feel!

Good company

The fun thing about working as a freelancer is the variety. Last year, I worked for my former employer, Zwijsen, on the language programme Taaljacht, reading comprehension tests for Estafette, and – completely new to me – a Maths programme. I worked on Early Readers' books for both Zwijsen and Bontekoe, I translated a Sogeti report on AI into English for LINE UP, I was asked to be a visual editor for Noordhoff, checked a satirical atlas by De Speld/De Grote Podcastlas as a sensitivity reader, and, of course, edited more Time to Momo city and region guides. I was introduced to the work of travel journaller Merel Djamilla Hoekstra by editing her book, and edited all eight guides from mo'media's new Why Should I Go To series. Subsequently, I ended up with a lovely new client: FJORD. What beautiful books they produce! And again, I find myself in good company with the creators at this publishing house.
