Through my proofreading services, I aim to bring you peace of mind and credibility by helping you produce error-free and well-written texts.
In 2024, I trained as a proofreader at EFLC (École Française de Lecteur-Correcteur). I obtained the expert level of the Le Robert certification with a score of 965 out of 1000 (verification code: BCDPV6VRG3).
I created my micro-enterprise in early 2025.

What is my background?
Childhood and adolescence surrounded by books developed in me a love for texts and words.
After studies in political science and experience in a specialized library, I moved into library professions. I currently work in a media library in the Lyon metropolitan area.
A devourer of novels, thrillers, and comic books, I would be delighted to put my literary sensitivity, my rigor, and my sense of commitment to the service of your writing.
