About Clémence

Have you written a book and are you looking to bring it to its best version?
With five years of experience in a bookstore, and training as a reader-proofreader with the CEC, I offer my services as a beta reader and proofreader. What does this involve?

📝 You are still in your first drafts, and your text is not yet ready to be sent to a publishing house: I offer you a beta reading that focuses on content rather than form. You know your text inside out, and you need an objective and professional external perspective. I propose to read your text in its entirety, and to write a detailed reading report with my opinion, the strengths, and the areas for improvement.

📖 You are at a more advanced stage of your project, and you have decided to turn to self-publishing. You know the value of your book, but it would need a final proofread to avoid typos and potential misunderstandings. I then offer you the most complete typo-proofreading possible, with remarks on style if necessary, and on the plot in a more general way. After my work, your book is ready to be shared with the rest of the world!

📕 In short, my goal is to push your text towards the best version of itself!

Why hire me?

👓 My reading brings an external, sincere, and objective perspective on your work. You have read your text over and over again, you know it by heart, but you need another eye to polish it. That's where I come in!

✒️ I master the rules of French grammar and spelling like the back of my hand. Your role is to write, mine is to correct!

📚 Thanks to my years in the bookstore, I know the world of books and publishing like the back of my hand, and I can advise you accordingly.
