Independence

Reviews stay independent, also for press samples. How that works is set out in the editorial policy.

What are your rates?

Every project is different, so I work with tailored quotes. Send your question with some context and you get a proposal with deliverables and price within a few business days.

Do you accept wine samples?

Yes, gladly. Email first for the address. Reviews stay independent, also for press samples.

Dutch or English?

Both. I work in both languages daily, so let me know your preference.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. From Amstelveen across the Netherlands, and internationally for select projects. Travel is billed separately at cost, with no markup.

Do you take on long-term work?

Yes. For ongoing content I work with monthly or quarterly retainers. That brings calm and keeps the quality consistent.
