Back to original languageAbout Capucine
Welcome!
An editor for 6 years, a freelance translator in French and English for 9 more years, my expertise covers all levels of text editing, from helping authors deliver the best possible manuscript to the final approval.
After a degree in Literature and Book Publishing at the Sorbonne, I worked for 5 years as an editorial assistant for France's second-largest publishing group, then for a year as a fine arts book editor for an international publishing house in Vietnam. I have since been working as a freelance translator, handling everything from published young adult novels to shorter commercial texts for foreign rights holders.
I am accustomed to tight deadlines and adapting my work to the specific needs of the client and the text. Some of my services include:
- Editing, proofreading, critical review, layout planning, and cover design
- Translation from English to French or French to English
- Liaising with authors and stakeholders, managing service providers
- Image and text research, fact-checking
- Writing back cover copy, articles, and promotional content
Types of publications I have worked on: art books, political essays, comic books and webtoons, board games, young adult novels, biographies, news and blog articles, how-to books, social sciences, history.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Capucine for English-to-French translations, and it’s been a great experience. She’s always quick to respond, usually within 24 hours, which is super helpful. Her translations are spot on—clear, accurate, and well-adapted to the context.
Capucine takes the time to really understand what we need, and that shows in the quality of her work. She’s easy to work with, responsive, and brings a lot of value to the projects. I’ve enjoyed collaborating with her and would definitely work with her again.
