Blogger

With 10 years of blogging experience and over 1000 blogs written on That Blonde Woman, I still can’t get enough of it. From writing to taking pictures, I do it all with the biggest smile on my face!

Right from the start I have worked with several companies for my blogs about books, lifestyle and my solo travels. Would you like me to review or collaborate with a book or other product? Send an email in which you state the exact expectations you have of the possible collab.

In case you are a travel company/tourism board who want to get in touch about travel trips or other collaborations, please know I only take on specific kinds of trips/collaborations. I am into travels that centre around history, culture and (nerdy) pop culture that are easily accessible by train or plane.

Poet first,
Writer second

Writing in the form of blogs is not only something I do for my own website, but I also like to work with other companies for beautiful writings. Press releases, articles or blogs. You name it!

Community Consultant

With over 10 years of experience in marketing and communications for various companies, I know how to grow a brand, make the product stand out and create a strategy that fits the tone of voice. Check out my LinkedIn page for more information about my past endeavours.

However I believe in this dynamic field that just simply marketing isn’t enough. And why should it be? Being authentic is the answer. This can be achieved when you put genuine energy in the community. By listening to the audience, create fitted storytelling for them and combine this all together to a plan that aligns with what’s to come in the future.

Editorial collaborations

Starting 2023 off strong with the ISVW (International School of Philosophy) Publishers. With my specialisation in both Philosophy and Young Adult/New Adult books, I became the Editor for Whatever it takes by Joan de Ruijter. A sizzling philosophical novel, bold and contemporary, in which the author criticises the view of humanity in which data is all-determining.

From April 2022 till August 2024 I worked for PR Agency Maartje PR and Online Pressroom PressPixx as a PR Copywriter specialised in start-ups in the fashion, beauty and lifestyle field.

Back in 2021 I became a Grisha-ambassador for the Dutch publishing house Blossom Books. in this role I created multiple articles/posts on That Blonde Woman the blog and Instagram, and I also wrote for the publisher’s website in celebration of the Netflix Original series Shadow & Bone. 

What happens when two publishing houses both with their own specialties collaborate together? They create a whole new product! In the case of ISVW Publishers and Bekking & Blitz (Publisher for renowned museums) I was the Editor of the Philosophy Agenda 2019.

For the digital magazine iFilosofie I was part of the editorial staff from September 2017 till April 2018. 

In 2016 and 2017 I was one of the bloggers for Best of YA magazine. This magazine focused on YA books and was distributed to bookstores across the Netherlands and Belgium
Best of YA is an imprint of Publisher Unieboek | Het Spectrum.
