Consultant and Speaker I have been a university lecturer since 2009, teaching courses on children’s literature, comics and graphic novels, literary translation, and queer literature. I am an experienced speaker who has given presentations, workshops, and seminars around the world, primarily on translation, writing, breastfeeding, culture, and literature. I have also frequently been interviewed on the radio and on TV programs about these topics. I can happily design a lecture or seminar for your school, university, or organisation according to your needs, and I can provide quotes or interviews for the media.

Editor I have been a professional editor since the mid-1990s. I have worked for many different publishing companies, publications, organisations, literary agencies, universities, individuals, and others. I primarily edit texts in English, but I do also work on Swedish texts, particularly Swedish translations of English works. I love paying close attention to detail and polishing a text, whether that involves clarifying confusing phrases, ensuring the style is consistent, analysing the vocabulary choices, fixing punctuation, or anything else.
