Hi, I’m Courtney.

Writer.

Writing is my first love and I enjoy sharing stories about arts, culture, and my favorite places in Europe. As a ghostwriter, I also do content and copy writing for organizations looking to get the word out on their sustainable development initiatives and academics focusing on climate change research.

Editor.

A former media and culture editor, I have nearly 20 years of experience in developmental and line editing as well as proofreading. I love working with authors and academics to shape their book and essay-length manuscripts. I also support businesses across Europe by polishing their English-language communications.

Translator.

Fluent in German but amazing at English, I transcreate and localize annual reports, grant applications, blog posts, newsletters, web copy, and social media texts to ensure the translation from German to English reads like new copy.
