Experience
Part English and part Norwegian, I am fluent in both languages and have many years of experience in writing about Norwegian industry, politics, society and culture for international audiences.
Born in Britain in 1946 and with an MSc in Scandinavian politics from the University of London, I have provided freelance writing, editing and translation for many and varied clients.
