Ragini Werner

English editor for Dutch writers

---

Ragini Werner is the native-English editor who runs NEEDSer (Native-English Editing Service). Ragini Werner's expertise is based on a deep understanding of the English needs of Dutch writers. Ragini Werner is a super generalist in the wide range of material she edits, and a super sensitive specialist in fixing Dunglish (English with a Dutch accent), removing traces of your Dutch accent from the text while creating fluent, readable English that stays true to your style and original meaning.
