What clients say about SoGraTex
“Louise provides us with regular support on writing and/or editing business-related texts and articles. Especially her rapid reactions and ability to switch, as well as her clear communication are pleasant to work with. She writes in a very pleasant way and chooses the right tone of voice. She clearly substantiates why she chooses certain phrases and/or words in a text. Very enlightening!”

Brenda Kager
Office & Marketing Coordinator @ inovativLouise Bartels is someone you can always call or email, at any time. She can also tell you immediately when and how the job will be done. She translates and delivers flawlessly. She also edits the text in such manner that it sounds and ‘flows’ just as well in English as it does in Dutch. And she has a special talent to translate texts that contain an abundance of managerial language into fluent and easily legible documents.
In short, a writing talent combined with a translation talent!

Francine Bardoel
Former Chief Editor @ UNIVERS“Louise takes care of most of our translations (Dutch -> English/German). She duly corrects our company presentations and analyzes contracts, always fully customized and in total compliance with our wishes. She provides fast, accurate and excellent service on a 24/7 basis. She can always be reached for ad hoc assignments. What more could a client wish for.”

Bartels & Vedder
BARTELS & VEDDER - Interdisciplinary Engineers and Consultants“I’ve contracted SoGraTex for writing my speeches and blog posts. I regret not having enough time nor writing skills/practice to write them myself, but with the excellent ghostwriting services of SoGraTex, my time and text problems have finally been solved. SoGraTex delivers texts on demand, in a very correct, timely and pleasant manner. Plus: extremely discreet.”

G. C.
Keynote speaker and blogger @ SELF EMPLOYED“For many years now, Louise has been writing, creating, correcting and optimizing all our correspondence, presentations, organizational processes and business documents, always to our fullest satisfaction. Her/SoGraTex’s text services make our business workflow a lot smoother and better.”

Michael Koliós
MD & CEO @ Mc LOUGHLIN ASSOCIATES GmbH“Louise Bartels (SoGraTex) has translated my full online course “Writing Columns” (Dutch -> English). Very satisfactory. Her English is more than excellent anyway. Even more pleasant was her additional editing (correction and content/style) of the original Dutch text. For example, she pointed out to me even the minor mistakes or ambiguities that I hadn’t noticed anymore (tunnel vision). I greatly appreciate such an extra pair of ‘fresh’ eyes!”

Luuk Koelman

René & Willeke Teerink / VillaSemesta
Managing Directors @ VILLASEMESTA“For the German translation of my graphic novel ‘Elke Dag Sterven’ I teamed up with SoGraTex (Louise Bartels). And I haven’t regretted it for one second. It’s a delight when you receive an email from a German reader expressing his appreciation regarding the pitch-perfect German. Those are the good things in business!”

Luuk Koelman
Author, columnist, writing coach @ KOELMAN.COM“I’ve known Louise for over twenty years now and working with her has so far always been very pleasant. Her speed, professionalism, accuracy and initiative are exactly those things that contribute to a successful long-term business relationship.
