A decade ago, I left the Chicago Tribune to freelance from Germany. In Essen, I deliver news and feature articles in print, web and radio in English and German.
Below are a few of my past projects. Take a look around the site. If you like what you see and have a freelance assignment that fits my expertise, feel free to contact me at: freelance@anikascott.com | New!
My blog Anika on Writing is up and running. It offers useful and inspiring advice for writing fiction and nonfiction, including links to my classic articles on travel writing for beginners.
The blog "Germans Drink Beer" is getting a face-lift. I'll be back to a light-hearted look at German life and culture with all new posts in English and Denglish -- the German-English mix spoken by expats and bilinguals. Stay tuned. |
