Articles

This part of the site contains some of my old work for various magazines. I contributed to HP/De Tijd, to the daily newspaper of the International Theatre School Festival, to the magazine Movie(s), to the monthly folder of movie theatre Kriterion, to student magazine Cultus, to the Newsletter of the American Book Center and various others. Special mention goes to my article about Jennifer Aniston, which I wrote as a test assignment for VIPZ. Combined with my translating skills, it got me a contract as a desk editor/translator at the glamour magazine. However, since the magazine ultimately sank before production really got under way, it was purely a theoretical job. I am currently writing bilingual (English & Dutch) articles for Gay & Night. Most of the articles for ITs and the pieces for the American Book Center Newsletter are also in English, as are my Blogs.

My two relatively fresh (2007) Blogs:

Pop Culture Junkie
It's a Gay World After All
