Back to original languageAbout Florian
Professional proofreader for high-stakes publications, I help editorial teams, publishing houses, institutions, and authors to finalize their texts before distribution, publication, or submission.
For over 20 years, I have been supporting demanding editorial projects: regularly published magazines, published books, institutional publications, manuscripts intended for publication or ambitious self-publishing.
My intervention aims at a clear objective: to finalize your texts before distribution, publication, or submission.
I intervene in particular on:
- Territorial magazines and press materials;
- Institutional publications: reports, white papers, files, corporate content;
- Collective works;
- Novels, essays, narratives, and authors' manuscripts;
- Coffee table books and high-visibility editorial publications.
What I secure:
- Spelling, grammar, syntax, and punctuation;
- Typography and typographic consistency;
- Harmonization of usage;
- Reading fluency;
- Overall text consistency;
- Respect for the author's or brand's style, tone, and voice.
My expertise is based in particular on:
- 17 years as president of the editorial committee of "L’Officiel du Scrabble", published by Larousse;
- Proofreading of works published by recognized publishers;
- Several hundred authors accompanied;
- The founding of Orthotop.fr, a professional proofreading service for high-stakes texts.
For authors' manuscripts, my method includes, after quote validation and file receipt, an editorial diagnosis to identify key advice, recommendations, and areas for improvement before the final proofread.
The author can then choose to rework their manuscript before proofreading or proceed directly to typographic proofreading.
Structured method, tracking of changes, multi-step quality control, deadlines met, confidentiality guaranteed.
