Hi there, I'm Evelien!

I am a 36-year-old Dutchie. I love running, am a solid home cook and a huge fan of assembling IKEA-furniture. Seriously. It's like LEGO for adults. I married an Englishman. I gave birth to a New Yorker and a Londoner. We're all happily Amsterdammers now.

I write. In Dutch and English. Mostly about parenting, because my New Yorker and Londoner inspire me. Check out some of my stuff for Ouders van Nu, VIVA Mama, Mother Mag, Noobie Box, CITYMOM.nl and Make Birth Better.

I edit. I bring 7 years to the table as a senior editor for business publications focussing on child psychology and education. But I'm also good with online copy. I find your tone of voice and I make your content SEO proof.

I do project management. My clients have hired me for the launch of a (new) website, like The Netherland Club of New York and Annegienzanen.nl. Keeping lots of balls in the air is like second nature to me, I never miss a deadline and I'm told I am fun to work with.

Wonder if I can help you? Call me on +31 6 152 852 32 or send a message at [email protected]. Talk soon!
