Edit short texts in Dutch/Flemish

5


5 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 27, 2018

ONLY IN DUTCH/FLEMISH! (In English only spelling correction, no grammar, as I'm not confident I could manage to do that perfectly!)

I will look into your short text (up to 5 pages) and correct spelling and grammar mistakes.
If you wish, I can also rewrite sentences to make them better readable, or even suggest on structure or content (editing & proofreading).
The way to go is: I first look into your text quickly and estimate how much time the job will take, depending on length and text quality. You propose a deadline, and I estimate whether I can do it by then.

The reason why I only take short texts here, is because editing is more time consuming than most people realise - if you want it to be done well. And I only take the job when I can do it well. To give you an idea: a bachelor or master proof that has 25 - 50 real text pages, may cost up to 500 - 1,000 euros if I ask only 10 euros per hour (joint consultation and questioning through Skype and email included)! But then you DO have a real good text... ;-)

(We can still negotiate about longer texts, if you want, even real books, just bear in mind how much time that takes, so simbi or exchange proposals should be proportionate!)

Training & Qualifications


I've studied grammar at secondary school (Latin, Greek, Dutch, French, English, German) and at university (Dutch, English).
I've worked as a freelance text corrector with Kluwer Belgium (publisher).
I have experience with correcting bachelor and master proofs/theses and the like.
I'm a published author myself, with hunderds of articles and two books.

Availability & Preferences


I look into your text and we agree on a deadline that I can realistically reach. If it's a really short text, that could be the same or the next day.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

The economy that we created in the world is way off. Just like an unconditional basic income for everyone, I feel a more symbiotic economy would be a lot healthier and happier for everyone.

About Marieke Van Coppenolle

My spirit name being Wandering Oak I've been living a nomadic life since 2004, living very simply in a self-converted van with a woodstove. Before that I raised three children. I'm totally in love wit...h my grandson! :-) The (re-)connection of our Mother Earth and her human children is very important to me. I saw how burnt-out people are getting in our hectic, almost inhumane society. So somehow, unintentionally, I got into creating a special, ecological and harmonising, healing place... a temporary stay for burnt-out people and for artists, and to facilitate re-connecting activities that have to do with Nature, Rest, Healing and Creativity. To be able to fund the finishing of this place after my savings had already gone into it (and having almost no income which is very adventurous! :-)), I set up a not-for-profit organisation, recognised by the Belgian King Bauduoin Foundation, to make it all happen. International young volunteers come to help out, which makes its value even greater. As soon as the building will be finished and the organisation working fine, I hope to take up my simple nomadic lifestyle again... It's who I am... my soul's agenda...show more
