I am an able critic of others' texts, but also an avid writer myself. I have published much of my written production online and, in the present incarnation of this homepage, I have added quite a lot of previously unpublished material. The catalogue below contains more than 40 titles, ranging from a few lines to several hundred pages in length, from newspaper articles to poetry, applications, translations, scientific papers, chapters, books, reports, etc. Together, they should give a good impression of the breadth of styles that I master, and thus of what kinds of texts I can edit.
