About me
I am a journalist, editor and writer by training, but in recent years I prefer to call myself a visual word artist.
This is because word and image are always closely related to each other for me. For example, I use my paintings as illustrations for my poems and stories.
Due to my journalistic and editorial background, I have a lot of experience in writing and correcting manuscripts, company presentations, newsletters, staff magazines, etc.
In addition, I have written 11 books, some of which were commissioned.
I currently do PR for a publishing house and a starting film producer, for whom I also wrote the logline, synopsis and part of the script.

remarks
My (journalistic) experience in sales, writing and interviews, which enables me to write SEO-oriented articles, catchy advertorials, fascinating background articles, etc. In addition, I can judge well how a story is constructed or come up with a story myself because of my years of experience as a story and book writer and manuscript supervisor.
