Editor. Translator. Writer. Facilitator.
I help make meaningful books and support the creative process that gets you there.
Whether guiding a writer through the vulnerable process of a novel or intellectual project, translating a layered literary voice, or developing workshops where creative writing is approached as a life practice, my work blends literary depth, contextual sensitivity, and an attunement to the unseen.
What connects it all is a commitment to creative writing as an open(ing) practice that can transform self and society.
Editing
I help authors develop ambitious, meaningful books, fiction and nonfiction alike.
Writing
I write fiction, essays, and poetry in Dutch and English.
Translation
I translate contemporary Dutch-language fiction and poetry into living English.
Workshops
I am developing creative writing workshops informed by the relational arts, in which we practise integrating our literary practice with our life process.
