Hi, I’m Helen West: copywriter, technical editor, writing trainer/coach.
I’m committed to helping managers, engineers, scientists and technical specialists to write more effectively in English. Over the years, I’ve helped people in many different professionals and organisations. My clients are in industrial multinationals, Dutch companies operating internationally, research institutes and universities. Government ministries and the European Commission in Brussels.
Even if I say so myself, my experience is wide ranging from copywriting for websites; writing content for policy documents; QA on consultant’s report; to fixing English language for non-native speakers And It’s all great fun.
Maybe, you’re wondering what sort of background qualifies Helen West for this work. In a nutshell, I graduated from the University of New England (NSW) Australia. And I’m trained and accredited teacher and trainer. I keep up to date with the latest professional developments by participating in short, intense language and writing courses.
Where do I come from? Helen West is an Australian, living and working in the Netherlands for 30 years. How did Helen get here? That’s quite a long story. Before settling in the Netherlands, we lived and worked in Australia, UK and Nigeria.
