Local fit

Why hire a native Belgian op ed writer

Hiring a op ed writer who is actually based in Mechelen changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. Two language communities in one small country, so Dutch and French versions are usually both needed. Brussels adds an EU institutional audience with its own vocabulary.

Practically, that means your op ed writer writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across Belgium, references Mechelen and wider Antwerp accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in EUR. Languages on the bench for this market: Dutch, French, English.
