jon buscall’s Summary

I’m committed to helping businesses, organizations and individuals communicate more effectively in English.

Skilled in communications, journalism, web-writing, academic writing, editing, translation and teaching, I’m passionate about the way first class writing is essential to connect businesses, people, information and knowledge – particularly via the web.

After nearly ten years working as a university lecturer, I started freelancing full-time in 2005 from my base in Stockholm, Sweden, providing a variety of services.

Copywriting
I’ve produced articles, advertising material, brochures, web-materials, etc, for clients such as Stockholm University, Internationella Engelska Skolan i Sverige AB, Internationella Engelska Gymnasiet Södermalm.

Translation:
- Pål H. Christiansen's Drømmer om storhet > The Scoundrel Days of Hobo Highbrow (Fabula 2008)
- Göran Lager Dopingjägaren > Doping's Nemesis: Arne Ljungqvist (Ersatz 2009).

I’ve translated articles, reports and brochures from Swedish to English for major clients such as Uppsala University, Vetenskapsrådet, Stockholm University and Moderna Museet.

Journalism:
I’ve written articles for The Guardian, The Times Higher, The Times Educational Supplement, The Sunday Times, The Local, and European Business Magazine.

Consulting & Training
I’ve provided training seminars on topics such as Digital Writing, Effective CV Writing and Effective Web Writing for clients such as IES AB, IEG, SAS as well as guest lectures at universities and upper-secondary schools in the Stockholm region.




Publications
As well as over three hundred articles for the British press, I’ve published a number of academic articles, a Norwegian grammar book, fiction and poetry. My novel College.com was declared “essential reading” by The Times.
