Background |
 |
NEEDSer stands for Native-English Editing Service. Specialist service
NEEDSer specializes in editing the language of texts written in English or translated into English by Dutch speakers. Your text could be a formal research paper for a learned journal, the manuscript of a book, the English version of a corporate website, or any other business, marketing or promotional text. NEEDSer occasionally provides a non-urgent Dutch-to-English translation and editing service, in collaboration with highly qualified sworn translators, for all your English language needs. No matter the level of English required - from easy to esoteric - NEEDSer will serve your needs as author or translator and the needs of your readers all over the world. Warmly recommended
NEEDSer is run by Ragini Werner, a native-English editor from New Zealand who came to live in the Netherlands in 1980 and worked for 20 years in scientific, technical and medical publishing with Reed Elsevier (Elsevier Science Publishers) in Amsterdam. Following a move to the far north of the Netherlands, she set up her freelance business in 2000 and since then has gained extensive experience in editing learned papers for academics in a broad range of disciplines. In addition, she has edited several textbooks in economics and business management for Wolters-Noordhoff. Ukko Meijer, final year student, Master's degree: 'Many thanks for all your efforts. Thanks to your help I am really satisfied with the dissertation I handed in.' Professor Ida H. Stamhuis: 'I am grateful to Ragini Werner for the correction of the English.' A Nineteenth-Century Statistical Society that Abandoned Statistics - Journal of the History of Biology (2007) 40:427–466 © Springer 2007 Marlies Harlaar and Otto de Leeuw: 'We would like to thank Ragini Werner for the wonderful job she did of editing the book'. Export - A practical guide © 2006 Wolters-Noordhoff Otto Venema, Publisher: 'Thanks for the excellent work.' Creating a Business by J. van Sten, © 2005 Wolters-Noordhoff 'This is very good. With one exception, any differences of opinion I might have are mere quibbles. She makes the necessary changes with confidence, right down to the level of formatting. Hers is the only [...] text I have seen so far that is readable – quite an achievement!' Anonymous assessor's report, Universitaire Vertaal- en Correctiedienst (UVC), Talencentrum RUG, 2004. Reasonable rates
NEEDSer's reasonable rates are based on word count, source text quality and the type of work involved: from proofreading through copyediting and substantive editing to full translation and text consultancy.
