ask me for
Mijn specialisaties zijn humor en misdaad.

remarks
My specialty is humor in the broadest sense of the word, from flat to intelligent to dark. In addition, I write raw dialogues for unique characters. Because of my background in dramaturgy, I know everything about the structure of a screenplay and the constellation of the characters. Context is very important in my work, which always creates a layering. My studies have also made me very adept at doing research.
