Karin Wijk worked as Publishing Secretary at Rabén & Sjögren, Norstedts Publishing House, from June 2011 until January 2014. Working as a Publishing Secretary includes a wide range of tasks among them assisting the Publishing Director in arranging meetings, planning conferences, some administration of agreements as well as writing protocols at management team meetings. Furthermore, the position included to keep track of all aspects of the publishing process, plan and take part in many of the big events the Publisher arranges, handle the administration of literary grants as well as registering titles to various interest organizations and nominations. In addition to this, Karin wanted to make progress as an editor and project leader and therefore worked as a project assistant in a couple of book projects and with translations, editing and proofreading. After leaving her position she has continued to work as a freelancing proofreader for the Publisher. Karin handled her work very well and was a great asset to Rabén & Sjögren as well as for the publishing house as a whole. Karin is competent, reliable, capable, receptive, cooperative and an excellent team player. She has also shown a great wish to further develop her knowledge about other positions at the publisher in addition to the day-to-day tasks. Karin has been a very appreciated coworker both within the publishing house and by the authors, illustrators and external partners. I can highly recommend Karin to future employers. Ann Sköld

We have had Karin working for us as a freelance editor since 2016. She has worked with more than fifteen titles, mainly with our popular romance-series. With a sharp eye for language usage and a sensitivity for the tone of the genre, she has punctually delivered revised manuscripts to us. We can therefore genuinely recommend Karin and her work to others.Ellinor Ölander

Karin Wijk has been linked to the Publishing House Saga Egmont since March 2018, working as a scout. Her main task has been to contact Swedish authors and translators with the intention of obtaining the rights to digital publishing in the following formats: e-books, audiobooks and Print-on-Demand in Sweden. In this role, Karin has been contacting authors or translators, or their right-holders. While doing so she has passed on Saga’s mission: to digitalize older literature, in order to make it available for the readers. As part of that work, Karin has been initiated in Saga’s contracts and has also gained knowledge of our way of working. Karin works independently and systematically. She is communicative and tenacious and open to feedback. In addition to being conscientious and happily saying yes to new assignments, she is also good at keeping me updated – all the qualities that a good freelancer holds. As a person, Karin is curious and easy to work with. She has solved all her assignments to satisfaction and I therefore give her my best recommendations. Grethe Bjerregaard Schafranek

Karin has proofread several titles for me, both children’s books and teenage books. She is meticulous and clear, and in addition to that she always meets her deadlines, which is a prerequisite when we collaborate with freelancers in our frequently time pressured productions. Cina Friedner
