EDITOR
Words, scripts and editorial work.
I work with authors, publishers and audiobook producers on books, scripts and everything in between.
I work in both Swedish and English. Ten years abroad have given me a strong feel for tone, rhythm and nuance.
I studied podcast production, with a focus on journalistic methods, storytelling and dramaturgy. During my studies, I interned at Storyside/Storytel and have since continued working with them as a freelancer. Today, my work spans editing, writing, research and editorial development.
I like working closely with the text — finding what works, what needs attention, and what can be left alone.
For me, it comes down to rhythm — whether a character stays true to their voice, where a sentence needs to pause, and when something simply works as it is. I pay attention to structure and timing, but also to knowing when to leave something alone.
