Proofreader-Editor, the "quality controller" of texts
I offer you a tailor-made, high-end editing service, which can consist of rewriting, in-depth correction, or simple proofreading of any document, as well as writing assistance if you are not comfortable with writing.
My Promise
Thanks to my expertise in the French language, I help you to enhance your writings, make them unique, error-free, and ensure they are the perfect reflection of your brand image.
Who do I help?
Professionals in publishing, wellness, yoga, art and culture, luxury, I help you finalize your writings and make them impeccable. Don't forget that they are a reflection of the image you project.
And in a dematerialized world, writing remains omnipresent! Spelling mistakes in your posts, inconsistencies in your newsletters, in your sales funnel, or the heterogeneity of your content will not make you credible. Your writings must be perfectly clear. Also, don't forget that they are your showcase.
My professional rigor protects you from what you might have missed. "Eagle eye" is my nickname!
How do I help?
Tasks performed:
- meticulous and in-depth reading;
- spelling, grammar, and syntax correction;
- checking of verb conjugations and agreements;
- orthotypographical revision;
- verification of the meaning and coherence of the text, the accuracy of cited references, and the reliability of data;
- suggestions for substantive corrections;
- flagging of important elements (unifications, special mentions, discount percentages, € sign...) and layout.
If you wish, I can also partially rewrite your texts, and assist you in writing your web content (newsletters, blog articles, social media posts, sales funnels), while respecting the rules (copywriting and SEO).
