About Caterina

Proofreader, editorial assistant and French-Italian translator, I work on demanding texts that engage ideas, knowledge, and societal issues. With a PhD in law and training from the French School for Proofreaders, I have experience in university teaching and research, popular education, and linguistic mediation, which informs my focus on text clarity and accessibility.
I offer:
– formal correction and in-depth academic proofreading (spelling, grammar, coherence, clarity, rhythm) for theses, dissertations, articles, and reports;
– editorial support and co-writing of reflective texts (essays, opinion pieces, articles, blog posts, reports);
– FR ↔ IT translation and revision in my areas of expertise (social sciences and humanities, human rights, social and environmental issues, NGOs, institutions, editorial content).
I particularly support authors of essays and non-fiction, students, doctoral candidates and researchers, journalists and creators of editorial content, as well as media outlets, NGOs, associations, institutions, and companies. Each project begins with a discussion of your needs, a sample of your text, and a quote adapted to the level of intervention, under strict confidentiality.
