Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Editorial editor and translator, I work on existing texts to make them clear, coherent, and publishable. I manage demanding editorial projects, particularly books and non-fiction content, through in-depth proofreading, rewriting, and stylistic improvement.

Beyond English to French translation, my work involves proofreading, adapting, and ensuring consistency in translated texts to respect the author's voice, the narrative rhythm, and the overall editorial intent. I step in where raw translation ends, with particular attention to fluidity, readability, and the stylistic harmony of the whole.

I have worked on published editorial projects involving international authors and personalities, in a professional and confidential capacity. I collaborate with publishing houses, cultural organizations, and editorial teams needing an experienced eye on long texts.

Based in Paris, I work remotely on projects in France and internationally.
