• I'm British and have a degree in English from a fairly fancy-pants university.
• I lived in The Netherlands for 16 years, assimilating as much as I could; I love haring met uitjes, and I know what to do with a flessenlikker!
• I have a proofreading qualification from the Publishing Training Centre.
• I've translated three Dutch bestsellers into English: Het Pilgrim Fathers-complot, and Het Pauluslabyrint by Jeroen Windmeijer, and Zonder Jou by Chantal & Priscilla van Gastel.
