I’m Christine Mes, a native English copywriter, proofreader, editor, language trainer, and workshop leader with over 20 years of experience working for marketing, communication, PR, and language agencies.
What do I do?

As well as copywriting, editing, and proofreading, I enjoy helping others to
improve their writing, business, and language skills through workshops and
