Elizabeth Meyer zu Heringdorf

With over 20 years' experience as a journalist, translator, writer, proofreader, and editor, I am passionate about words and putting them in the right places.

About me

I’m American, a native of the Boston area. I started my career in the United States as a technical writer, editor, and journalist. Since moving to Germany in 2002, I have been a freelance editor and proofreader for both individuals and companies in Germany and abroad, including science and business publisher Springer Verlag.

My experience

I have 20 years’ experience as an English-language writer and editor. I’m fast, flexible, reliable, and am able to edit precisely without changing either the content or the meaning. I’m also versatile. I have experience in many different fields, including business documents, software publications, and academic texts.

I have 10+ years’ experience working with native German speakers, turning their English-language documents from “Germanized English” into publication-quality texts.

My qualifications

• B.A. in English literature, University of Massachusetts at Amherst (USA), magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa
• M.S. in Journalism, Columbia University (USA)

Current Status

Since I have started a full-time employment as a technical writer in 2019, the services of Quickedits will be unavailable until further notice - except the occasional small edit as a favor to friends and family.
