About Us
When we first created Loki Communications in 2011, some thought it was “low-key” communications. Not a bad thought — because we do quietly get things done! And with high quality, accuracy, and competence.
We are a small collective of freelancers who specialize in editorial services, helping clients with print and digital publications and related communications and marketing. Most of us have worked with one other for more than a decade, so we are a highly efficient, well-oiled team. We all care about quality and impact. We have complementary areas of expertise, “speak the same language,” and can tag-team seamlessly to support a given project with a range of skills as needs arise.
We can clean up AI translations of text from French, Spanish, and German into English. And if you need your materials translated into French, Spanish, or Portuguese — or edited in those languages — we can direct you to excellent, trusted translators who understand the content areas and with whom we have worked for many years.

The Norse god Loki was the god of fire and a shapeshifter — he was agile, fast-moving, and known as a trickster.
