I have a life-long, passionate love for words and their ability to shape thoughts, inspire greatness, and change a generation. This passion, in collaboration with my unique skillset, is continuously innovating and driving an enhanced standard of excellence in my workmanship. Although AI is an outstanding tool, my tools of choice are my knowledge and substantial experience, offering my clients the full benefits of my expertise. Nothing beats grey matter for quality, authenticity, and originality. As a native bilingual English professional, also fluent in Afrikaans, my specialty is anything and everything related to words. The following are my areas of expertise as writer and editor: • Proofreading • Developmental editing / Line-editing / Copy-editing - light and medium • Formatting of manuscripts • Blogs and articles • Poetry • Daily devotions • Celebration of Life Speeches / Eulogies • Business Correspondence / Letters - Professional • Reflective Statements • Letters of Recommendation for academic institutions • Speeches for different individuals and societies • Designing business cards, logos, letterheads and banners • Compiling professional curricula vitae and resumés, cover letters and personal statements • Social media content creation and management across several digital platforms • Corporate and business branding • Website and marketing content Although having thorough experience in all of the above-mentioned, I would like to specify the following: • Wrote, edited, and graphically produced an 8-10 page e-zine, distributed to about 350-450 members of a district society over a 2 1/2-year period • Writer of a 30 000-word children's book in the final stages of editing • Social media content management - graphic and written - across all digital platforms of the district society, local businesses, and organizations • Creation of social media content across several digital platforms - graphic and written - for district society, local businesses, and organizations • Editor of several non-fiction and fiction manuscripts over the last five years, on Upwork; People Per Hour and nationally As a native English speaker with a unique vocabulary and grammar skillset, varied editing and writing experience, a 'think-out-of-the-box' mentality, and an uncanny editing intuition, my ability to ensure deliverables of outstanding quality is assured. Believing in commitment, reliability, and a meticulous eye for detail, my professional ethos encapsulates a spirit of excellence. My integrity is complemented by exceptional communication skills, collaborating to enhance consumer experience. Being an editor, I believe in partnering with authors to enhance, encourage, and inspire their 'voices,' assisting with molding, sculpting, and refining their words to reflect the clarity, strength, and emotion of their message. Although my clients are key, and their preferences remain my primary focus; it goes against my grain to flatter or inflate an author's ability or run an unethical social media campaign. When editing, I strive to give an unbiased, honest appraisal, in such a manner that an author is encouraged to hone their gift. This same ethos is equally applicable when assessing a brand's social media content and suggesting changes. My editing and writing experience stands me in good stead, in a digital world, there are no body language cues, and a brand has to garner consumer trust solely reliant on what an audience can read, hear, and see on screen. Responsive social media creation and management have become undeniably pivotal in the current faceless business environment. Therefore, facilitating a vision or marketing a concept is far more than stringing along a few words in a sentence...words have to be palatable and specific to a consumer audience while emanating the essence and fullness of their vowel and consonant fragrance. Words are critical in brokering consumer trust, and although a picture can paint a thousand words, words have the power to start, and end, wars. In understanding the fine nuances of conveying a memorable, distinctive, and emotive brand message, a brand can be enabled to enlarge its digital presence and consumer demographic. My professionalism is built on old-school integrity, reliability, optimism, and commitment, and ensures a distinctive and pleasurable business experience for my clients. As a last note, as part of my core values, I do not work on any content containing any form of eroticism or magic. Talk to me and allow me to bring out the very best of your text.Translation Afrikaans English

Hello, and great to meet you! I’m a seasoned copy editor, proofreader, writer, and copywriter with a naturally sharp and, by now, also practiced eye for detail. (I even edit billboards while driving on the highway!) My experience spans a range of fields, including medicine, biohacking, language learning, education, technical content, and fiction. PROJECTS -I occasionally edit and proofread postgraduate course content developed by iheed for medical professionals, covering disciplines such as neuroscience and psychology, occupational medicine and safety, and infectious diseases. -I was the acting editor of a national healthcare magazine (HMR Africa) for nearly three years. -I rewrote a short book, How We Age, and formatted it for Kindle and e-book reading. -I published several feature articles for a local community newspaper, The Edge. -I wrote advertorials; YouTube true crime scripts; scripts for language learning (InnovativeLanguage.com); and numerous blogs. This list is not exhaustive—I've been working with words all my life! Please also see my Upwork portfolio for actual examples of my writing. My English and Afrikaans language skills are superior. In my work, I always aim for accuracy, clarity, and readability, tailoring my approach to fit your needs. I furthermore thrive on learning new skills. Recently, I’ve been diving into Full Stack Development and Python to expand my technical expertise further, and I'm also learning to speak French (Vraiment!). I have higher teacher's diploma (pre-school to Grade 4), and have completed most modules of a diploma in journalism. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC's) curated academic content provides an excellent way to remain up to date and expand my education. Courses I've completed so far include: -Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT (Coursera) -Introduction to Google SEO (Coursera) -Learning How to Learn for Youth (Coursera) -Introduction to Forensic Science (FutureLearn) -Start Writing Fiction (FutureLearn) -Nutrition and Wellbeing (FutureLearn) -Making Sense of Health Evidence (FutureLearn) My background in journalism and teaching also strengthens my ability to distill complex ideas into clear, accessible content. This allows me to write, rephrase, and edit technical content with ease. Thanks to my “OCD-lite,” I often deliver polished work on the first submission. For very large, complex projects, I collaborate with a qualified copy editor/proofreader at my own expense to ensure the highest quality. I take pride in delivering excellent work, consistently meeting deadlines, maintaining clear, prompt communication, and collaborating effectively with teams. If you’re looking for a meticulous editor, proofreader, or writer—and someone adaptable enough to wear multiple hats, if needed—I’d love to help!Translation Afrikaans English

I am an enthusiastic, ambitious, and beyond curious bookworm, looking for an opportunity to apply my love for languages in a practical setting. My freelancing career via Upwork, appointment at Suikerbosrand Makelaars/Broker, and other opportunities have honed my language practice skills over the past three years. It has also exposed me to working in different mediums, across different platforms (blog content, social media, client engagement, fiction and non-fiction books, newspaper articles, etc) and using different registers. I am especially interested in how the choice of language use is influential to content interpretation. My favourite projects include creative free reign; I always have a dad-joke or pun up my sleeve and enjoy implementing creative wordplay into projects. However, when needed, I can relay information formally as well. In 2024, I joined The South African Translators’ Institute (SATI) to become an accredited language practitioner and give my freelancing career a new opportunity for growth. I completed my honours degree in English Language and Literature with distinction in December 2023. My mini dissertation focused on language change (ask me all about it!) and all of my other modules were linguistically based. My honours followed directly after the completion of my undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Language and Literary studies, which was completed in 2022.Translation Afrikaans English
