Welcome to SENSE-online

SENSE stands for the Society of English-Native-Speaking Editors. Based in the Netherlands, the society serves as a professional networking community for nearly 400 members, who work as editors, translators, interpreters, copywriters, and teachers of English writing skills. Every year SENSE organizes a full programme of professional development activities, including lectures and workshops, as well as regular social events. For more information on current and upcoming activities, please visit the EVENTS page. The society also maintains a thriving forum where members can crowdsource the in-depth knowledge and technical information possessed by fellow language professionals. For more information about SENSE, please see the ABOUT page.
