About Delphine

Passionate about reading, the French language, English, history, nature, education, etc. (many things, yes!), I first chose to share knowledge by happily teaching for eighteen years.
Today, a passionate proofreader since 2019, I collaborate with publishing houses, companies, and authors on:

*Manuscripts(novels, children's literature, practical guides)

*Educational content

*Articles, publications

I offer you, as you choose:
🔸Proofreading of your text:spelling, syntax, verb tenses, punctuation, typography, with possible suggestions for reformulation (clumsy phrasing, inconsistencies)
🔸Layout(headings, paragraphs, dialogues, etc.)

Other services available:
✔️Writing of the summaryof your manuscript
✔️Professional beta reading:analysis of plot coherence, character depth, pacing, style, reader's feelings, concluding with concrete areas for improvement. My preferred areas: novels (life stories, feel-good, historical, detective, autobiographical) and children's literature.

👉 Contact me: I respond quickly.
For an express quote:attach your file (or just a representative excerpt, but specify the total word count*) and state your expectations.



*In Word: it's easy, the total word count of the file is shown in the taskbar, at the bottom left of each page.


Looking forward to reading you! 📬
