What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create sharp, scroll-stopping short-form copy and editorial work for international or emerging brands, combining brand-voice craft, publication-quality editing, and hands-on project coordination.

I've coordinated six publications for Gondolat Publishing and Kizuna from manuscript to release, keeping parallel schedules, quality, and deadlines under control. I edit with script-level precision, sharpening rhythm, headlines, hooks, and copy while sustaining each author's distinct voice.

At Károli Gáspár University, I edit academic and educational texts into accessible, publication-ready work through close author liaison. I've also organized and run academic and community events, workshops, and speaker coordination at KRE Benda Kálmán College for Advanced Studies.

I build short-form language deliberately: hook, rhythm, storytelling, CTA. I work natively in Hungarian and professionally in English and German, bringing a project-management mindset and hands-on coordination to editorial and brand work.
