SERVICES
JOURNALIST & COPYWRITER
Are you in lack of a journalist or copywriter in Norway? Do you quickly need to deliver a press release? Do you need contributions for your next corporate newspaper? Do you need help for the content of your upcoming website?
We have journalistic experience of covering news, culture, theme pages and reports for various newspapers in both Norwegian and English. As copywriters we have promoted customers in industry, business, trade, culture, tourism and hotel management. We have been involved in the development of books and magazines, websites and branding.
In Ildstad Tekstbyrå our goal is to compose a language that suits the sender and satisfy the receiver. Is that your goal too?
TRANSLATOR & PROOFREADER
Do you need to translate a document into Norwegian? Do you plan to establish your company in Norway and want to promote yourself in the native language? Or have you already translated a text, and need someone to proofread the translation?
In Ildstad Tekstbyrå we have translation experience both from Norway and abroad. We have been translating major projects, like the annual report for the Norwegian National Collection Agency, to small articles to promote the British department store Staples in Norway.
In Ildstad Tekstbyrå no job is too small. Only a few are too big.
SUBEDITING
Do you have a message, but are unsure of how you want to convey it? Are you good at expressing yourself, but have forgotten where you put the comma? Are you about to publish a text where you want to appear professionally and relevant?
Orthography is for a text what the framework is for a house. It does not help to fill a house with the most beautiful objects if the framework crashes and the house collapses. A good text is not just about content, but also about proper punctuation and appealing composition. We help you creating a text with a stable framework.
In Ildstad Tekstbyrå our goal is to be at your disposal. Whenever you need us.
WORDS COMMUNICATE REALITY. WHAT REALITY WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMUNICATE?
REFERENCES
Ildstad Tekstbyrå delivered text to our magazine Tigerstaden, a premium lifestyle magazine that was released all over Oslo. The theme was Swedish fashion industry. Ildstad delivered supreme text quality, and showed a knack for summarizing a complex subject in a straightforward and concise way to the readers. Both content, text dramaturgy and orthography were solid. Our experience with Ildstad Tekstbyrå is very good; their services can be safely recommended further – whether editorial production is facing an internal or external audience.
Ole Winther
Ildstad has proven himself as a skilled journalist, with a good language and the ability to solve a wide range of issues. He is also a punctual and nice guy, who also perform his tasks well beyond the cultural field.

ABOUT US
Ildstad Tekstbyrå was established by Anders Ildstad August 2015. Many years of experience as a journalist, copywriter and translator and a growing desire to stand on his own, made Ildstad decide to create a separate agency that can offer a wide span of textual services.
Ildstad Tekstbyrå’s vision is to provide good, effective solutions within text production, translation and editing. Instead of growing ourselves big and slow, the goal is to keep us so little that we can be at disposal as soon as the customer needs it.
Therefore another goal we have is to tie us to a network of skilled and available freelancers who can join a project as soon as the customer and the project requires it. The goal is to help – whenever needed. And thus no job is too small, no customer too insignificant and no customer is too far away. With today’s communication technology,our range covers the entire world.
Our vision is to make the quality of our services and the flexibility of our work to our strengths. We hope you dare to notice it.
THE ILDSTAD LOG
Exciting new cooperation
From November 2018, Ildstad Tekstbyrå has entered into a partnership with Yomando, a vendor of editorial media surveillance. Our task is to provide daily summaries of Nordic financial news for one particular customer – in English. The process is as follows: With the help of Retriever, a media surveillance service, we search through relevant articles in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish newspapers. Everything from the Norwegian online newspaper E24 to the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet and the Danish Berlingske is examined. Then we make a selection of the most relevant articles, and write the English summary. To us it is an exciting challenge to try a different approach: Now the Nordic languages are the source languages - and English is the target language. It involves working with four languages simultaneously, and developing both the English syntax, the vocabulary – and the ability to express oneself briefly and concisely in another language. An exciting challenge – early in the morning 🙂 Do you need to write or translate something into English – a summary of news, press releases or the like? Please do contact us! ... read more

Do you need a copy editor?
Since April this year Ildstad Text Agency has collaborated with Amplexor, an international digital solutions provider offering global compliance, digital experience and content solutions. Our task is to copyedit texts that are already written in Norwegian, in order to remove all mistakes and transform them into good marketing texts in the target language. Until now we have worked on marketing texts for Zehnder GmbH, a complete provider of solutions ranging from decorative radiators, convectors and panel radiators right through to systems for a comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient indoor climate. Zehnder GmbH is an international company also based in Norway. Why the need of copyediting? Copyediting is like a second opinion, a second look on a text before publishing, so it can be delivered with good quality, and in compliance with the customer´s wishes regarding content, SEO keywords, and style. Recommended! So, like Amplexor, do you need a copy editor in Norwegian? If so, please contact us!... read more
