"Anyone can write", is as true as anyone can operate operate a heart.
A good text needs experience, talent and courage: the courage to jump over one’s own shadow, to listen and to pitch one’s tents beyond one’s comfort zone. Writing requires the intrepidity to fall in love with a topic anew every day. Entrust your content to professionals – you would do the same with your heart.
Specialised journalism
From service-oriented guides to scientific white papers and technical documentation: Specialist journalism summarizes complex issues in an easily understandable and factually correct manner. »
Reports & portraits
Reportage engages the audience and captures the mood of a particular situation. Likewise, a portrait paints a vivid picture of a person - informative and moving at the same time. »
Special requirements

Specialised journalism
Complexities explained simply
I translate scientific or specialist topics into understandable language in a factually correct manner.
Explaining specialised knowledge in an appealing way to people without prior knowledge is the core of knowledge communication.
I am currently a fellow at the Free University of Berlin, researching the mathematics behind climate change models. >> about the project
Logic: Yes, no and artificial intelligence
Chess: Beaten by artificial intelligence
In the case of specialised journalism, all the necessary background information is provided so that readers can form their own opinions. In guidebooks, this information is more concrete and practical.
Self-optimisation: Why less is more, even for ourselves
Parents’ guide: How do I protect my child from cyberbullying?
What does philosophy have to say about the issues of our time? Especially for Utopia and Ethik heute, I regularly write philosophical essays.
Ethics: Why don’t we eat our cat?
Food production: Robots in the field
Consumer serenity: The right measure when shopping
Minimalism: How many pairs of pants can I have?
I have been writing professional and technical documentation for Dataport since the beginning of 2020. Most of it is used internally. For citizens, this work is visible, among other things, in the help texts that assist them in using the digital administrative services.
For the German Federal Government, I translated legal texts into comprehensible language that ideally all people understand – without previous legal or official training.

Reports & Portraits
The aim of reports and portraits is to create images in the mind with words. They bring the past to life.
Portraits capture the personality of a person or shed light on a specific period of their work.
For example, I wrote portraits of the curator Alain Bieber and the design researcher Gesche Joost for the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL).
Features captures the atmosphere and mood of a situation. In the 13 years I have been writing for daily newspapers and cultural magazines, I have had the privilege of writing numerous reportages. For these, I wandered through sewers, visited plasma researchers or cycled through big cities. Most of these have been published in print.
