Hey, I’m Marijke. I’m a published pop-science writer & nature storyteller.
Need science comms? Content for your nature-related business or outlet? How-to guides on bringing nature into one’s home? Whatever your channel, I’m here to help you get your message across to your readers.
Marine biology, ecology & conservation
Marine & freshwater fishkeeping
Ornithology & bird husbandry
Houseplants & gardening
I love nothing more than telling readers about the wonders of the Earth, how to protect our planet, and helping them with their nature-related hobbies.
Why work with me?
Publishing experience
I’ve been building and selling niche websites since 2013, so I know all the joys and pitfalls of owning a business. Running my own publications is what brought me to freelance writing!
15 years of writing
After landing my first client, I never looked back. I’ve since written 1000+ articles for people and businesses all over the world, from e-commerce to fishkeeping magazines.
Broad interests
I’m a nature nut and ocean aficionada by trade, but I’ve also written travel content, recipes, and much more. I can also provide photography, especially underwater.
Love my job
My philosophy is that if you love what you do, the rest will follow. Few things make me happier than diving into—and “translating”—obscure scientific studies about our world’s fascinating flora and fauna.
What can I help you with?
From simple blog content optimization to well-researched, scientifically slanted magazine features, I’m here to help.
- Investigative deep dives
- Well-researched pop-science articles
- SEO-optimized website content
- Blog post optimization
- Content SEO audits
- Proofreading & editing
- Underwater, nature & product photography
- Writing & translation in English, Dutch & Spanish
Because I’ve got access to keyword finding tools and scientific papers, you can count on the soundness and relevancy of all content.
Testimonials
I have been working with Mari for the last 4+ years. She is the best freelance writer I have ever worked with. I turn to her for all my content needs no matter the topic!
She is excellent at research and gets the job done flawlessly everytime!
– Ryan Curtis from The Shrimp Farm & House of Arcade, Bloomington
I went through several writers before finding Mari and was so frustrated with the poor quality of work. Mari is heads above any writer I or my fellow blogging friends have experienced. Her research on any topic you throw at her is in-depth, she picks up on your voice and requirements quickly, she is a whiz at SEO, she is timely-reliable-honest, and the cherry on the cake is that she is fun! Can’t recommend enough.
