With the emergence of AI, it has become even more important to use the most sparkling literary devices. You’ll have to keep your reader aching to know what’s next.
And that demands knowledge of how the human mind responds to the written word.

‘Ridiculously thorough and professional’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Niels. For the past years I have had the pleasure of working with Niels as his direct manager in a fast-paced, challenging, and demanding data-driven environment. I am always impressed by Niels’ ability to maintain high quality and meet high standards. Niels made sure his editorial knowledge was shared with the entire team. Would he go after a new adventure, he will be sorely missed by his peers. Niels would be a great asset to any client requiring a professional content writer with high-quality, thorough, and creative skills. My heartfelt recommendation!

Niels has the three qualities that I believe are must-have traits for editors in the corporate space. His command of language and writing is strong. He also learns fast, which is critical for editors as they consume and improve content from diverse internal stakeholders. But, I think most importantly, he’s good at explaining why he edits the way he does. Writing is not always an easy task for many of our internal clients. Our jobs are often to help colleagues and leaders within our organization communicate more clearly and effectively. When you have strength in explaining how an edit helps our internal clients accomplish their mission of clear and effective content, the editor and the company wins.

Niels is best at what he does. On a ⚖️, I would give him 101% for his hands-on editing skills and humane understanding. Thank you for your support with my master’s thesis proposal.

A friend recommended Niels on the same day a colleague pointed out the paper I was working on needed some editing. Several emails and drafts later left the paper fresh and crisp despite the cumbersome content. I highly recommend the quality of Niels’ editing service and his communication skills in figuring out where I want to go with this piece of writing.
