Betsy Hedberg
WRITER AND EDITORTechnical and creative English language content for your global audience.
If you communicate to an English-speaking audience, your written content must be clear and sound natural. Otherwise, you risk misunderstandings, wasted time, loss of credibility, and customers looking elsewhere.
It really all comes down to user experience (UX). You want people to quickly understand what you’re saying, know how to respond, and feel good.
I often notice these common problems:
– Too much jargon (overly complicated or obscure wording that isn’t clear, even for a technical audience)
– Important information presented in a boring way
– Lame or vague microcopy (like “An error has occurred” or “Sorry, you failed!”)
– Bad English (written English that’s awkward or unclear)
I’m a native English-speaking writer and editor, and I can help you simplify the complex and communicate efficiently and precisely to make your users (customers, prospects, employees – whoever reads your content) feel great about their experience. I love transforming complicated, abstract, vague, disjointed, or awkward information into plain English, keeping the important parts while making your content faster to read and easier to understand.
Focus on the work you do best, and I’ll take care of your English writing and editing.

Testimonials
Betsy edited for a technical project I was working on. She made the English more clear and approachable while retaining the desired tone and style. She also provided helpful suggestions on style and structure. Betsy is really easy to work with, delivers work on time and of very high quality. I highly recommend her and I hope I get to work with her in the future.
Betsy is that rare combination – someone with a natural writing ability, incredible creativity, and who pays meticulous attention to even the smallest (but important) details.
Working with Betsy was unlike any previous experience I’ve had with other freelancers. She truly became part of the team and someone I regularly looked to for guidance and advice.
Betsy provided wonderful guidance and input for both the process and the content of this program. She served as a wonderful guide, coach and teammate in helping me to visualize our program, think through the critical challenges, and lay out a plan and process for meeting our goals.
