Services
Academic translations
Translations from Dutch (Flemish) to English (UK or US) for your academic work, particularly in the social sciences and humanities. This includes articles, book chapters, theses, dissertations, and monographs.
Literary translations
Translations of your creative writing from Dutch (Flemish) to English (UK or US) to help you impress international publishers and reach a global audience. It is possible to translate an entire book or start with an abstract to send to prospective publishers.
Editing
More than just proofreading, editing provides you with feedback and suggestions to help you improve readability, clarity, and consistency in your writing. You can decide what level of revision and editing works best for you.
Proofreading
Proofreading involves the correction of any stray spelling or grammar errors, as well as making sure your text, titles, and citations are formatted according to the style guide of the publication or publisher you are targeting.
About me
I'm Kris Thielemans, a bilingual translator with more than 20 years experience translating, localising, editing, and writing in English and Dutch (Flemish). Due to my background as an MA in philosophy and art history, I've specialised in the translation of academic work in the humanities and social sciences. I’ve also enjoyed writing and translating for artists and art projects, and about games and gaming. My favourite literary genres are fantasy and science fiction.
"Kris is a dream to work with. She transforms both dry texts and Middle Dutch fragments of rhyme into pleasant and easy to read academic publications"

Art Historian & PhD researcher at KU Leuven
"I am more than satisfied with Kris' translations. There are plenty of translation agencies... but Kris knows how to handle the nuances of my specialism and that absolutely adds value!"
