Betsy Hedberg
EDITOR, WRITER, AND LEARNING DESIGNERTechnical and creative English-language content for your global audience
I’m a native English-speaking editor, writer, storyteller, and learning designer. I can help you simplify the complex and communicate efficiently and precisely, with a creative flare when called for.
I work with NGOs, UN agencies, businesses, academic institutions, and other international organizations that need project-based help with their documentation, reports, informational content, learning programmes, and other written communications.
Clients often come to me seeking:
- Well-structured informational and educational content that maximizes learning and understanding.
- Audience-focused learning experiences for education, training, and presentations.
- Help transforming dense text into something more user-friendly.
- Consolidation of multiple documents into streamlined guides.
- Clarity about how to get their points across.
- Confidence that their audience will not have to strain or struggle as they read.
I’d love to collaborate with you and your team — please contact me to discuss how I can help.
Betsy has an impressive ability to absorb and process a large amount of information and transform it into an understandable and well-written document. Betsy is flexible, solution-oriented and has an eye for detail. I would highly recommend Betsy.
I knew I could count on Betsy to deliver an interactive learning design and clear, easy to use, well-designed support materials. She is competent, professional and easy to work with. I appreciated the co-working and co-design that we did and look forward to working with her again.
I recently worked with Betsy on behalf of the Accelerated Education Working Group developing a facilitator’s manual for an Education workshop. This manual is going to be used globally so it was really important to ensure the language, instructions, style and format were able to be understood by a global audience. Betsy was extremely flexible to work with and delivered work of a high quality in a very short time span. She gives helpful technical feedback and guidance and was very communicative at all stages of the work. I’d highly recommend Betsy and hope to work with her again in the near future.
Betsy edited for an academic 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.
Betsy is easy to work with and is a highly effective writer.
Betsy is always a pleasure to work with.
I look forward to helping your team with upcoming English-language editing, writing, and learning design projects!
