About Alain

The French language is rich, it allows for many nuances, but it is sometimes complex. Whether commercially or artistically, conveying ideas effectively and clearly is always essential. To be sure of producing text that conforms to usage and is of high quality, do not hesitate to call on a writing professional.

I practice grammatical and spelling correction according to the rules of the French language and orthotypography, fact-checking, and rewriting.

I am also a writer and editor for the news site Superpouvoir.com.

    Since 2017, I have been a volunteer writer for the Superpouvoir.com website, where I have gained significant writing experience. I have written numerous news articles there, primarily in the comic book publishing field, but also on related topics such as Disney's acquisition of Fox. I manage monthly sections on French comic book releases and US sales. I have also contributed to more in-depth articles, often with social relevance, such as the Eddie Berganza case (addressing the #metoo movement and sexual harassment cases in the American comic book industry) or the controversy surrounding the Punisher symbol. I am capable of conducting extensive research, as for the obituaries of certain obscure authors like Elizabeth Safian Berube. Current events have also led me to write articles bridging cinema and comics. I have also conducted several interviews, including with Alex Tefenkgi and Chuck Patton. Finally, Superpouvoir allowed me to write the editorial content for the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN COMPENDIUM omnibus published by Panini in 2023.
