Petr Loucka

Since 2010, I have been working as a freelance copywriter, editor and translator of Czech and English texts for numerous Czech, European and international companies, e-commerce businesses, organisations and nonprofits. I focus mainly on the following areas/services:

• Copywriting in English and Czech — writing appealing web content, business presentations, PR and blog articles, advertisements, newsletters, social media posts, etc.
• (Copy)editing and proofreading — full-service treatment for your English or Czech texts, from in-depth reviews and edits (to improve readability, clarity, SEO factors, and sales) to finishing touches and all-around checks, with assistance from an editor who is a native English speaker.
• English-Czech and Czech-English translations — I specialize in transcreation and localization of shorter to medium-length texts for websites, blog articles, presentations, online shops, social media, app stores, e-commerce projects, etc.

In terms of qualifications, I hold an undergraduate degree in Czech philology (linguistics and literature) from the University of Ostrava and a Certificate in Advanced English (CAE). Over the years, I have produced, edited and polished hundreds of meaningful texts for numerous clients, both local and international. I offer discounts for nonprofits and do occasional volunteer work — such as for the world-renowned TED organization or ADRA International (interpreting for Ukrainian war refugees, in Czech/English/Russian).

In order to provide my clients with top-quality text outputs, I cooperate with a professional editor – an English native speaker.

Besides English and Czech, I communicate in Russian (B1+) sufficiently to conduct basic communication/translation tasks.
