About Me

A lifelong relationship with text — from pencil marks to a red pen

My career grows from a lifelong relationship with reading and writing. As an editor and proofreader, I approach every text with the same curiosity and precision that first drew me to literature. Once trained in manuscript editing, editorial services and bibliotherapy, the way you read changes — each sentence becomes something to shape with intention. Over the years, my reading notes have simply evolved from pencil marks to a red pen and a well-used row of book darts.

Education and Editorial Training

My academic foundation is in Literary Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Gothenburg, followed by a master’s degree and numerous courses related to book editing, writing, and editorial design. Ongoing learning—through workshops, seminars, and industry fairs—keeps my editorial practice sharp and attuned to the needs of authors today. (I list the most relevant qualifications at the bottom of this page.)

Industry Insight & Editorial Foresight

I keep a close eye on the publishing industry, from new releases and debut authors to catalogues and literary prizes. Shortlists often reveal emerging voices and market tendencies, and staying informed helps me support clients with both insight and foresight. Understanding how different markets evolve is not only professionally useful but genuinely fascinating.

How Reading Enriches My Editing

My reading habits are broad—classics, contemporary fiction, biographies, non-fiction—and I nurture a steadily growing interest in poetry. This wide reading life enriches my approach to content editing, allowing me to meet each manuscript/editorial project with fresh perspective, sensitivity, and appreciation for the writer’s voice.

The Letter Lab: Editorial Services, Multilingual Communication, Storytelling & Brand Identity

Alongside my editorial work, I also work as a storyteller and communicator. Years of engaging closely with language have sharpened both my editorial judgement and my intuition for brand identity and tone of voice. As a multilingual content writer, I work with four languages at a native level, a versatility that saves clients substantial time and brings clarity to cross-language projects. I enjoy exploring how words, visuals, and structure work together to express a clear identity and purpose.

My services are hired by publishing houses, businesses, and individuals looking to strengthen their written communication or build a cohesive digital presence. These different aspects of my work now come together under The Letter Lab, allowing me to approach each collaboration holistically—aligning language, design, and identity with consistency and intention.

The Letter Lab Press: Visual Storytelling & Design

My interest in art, paper goods, and well-crafted stationery naturally expanded into digital design. I am fascinated by how visual choices—layout, typography, colour—shape the way we interact with content. Creating notebooks, journals, and other design-driven pieces allows me to unite aesthetic creativity with the editorial training and precision at the core of my work. The Letter Lab Press shop and portfolio sections of this website highlight some of these projects, each developed with the same care, clarity, and attention to detail that guide my work with texts.

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
