About François

Hello! After studies in Romance Languages and Literature and a Master's in Book Publishing (Editing and Bookselling), I quickly focused my work on proofreading and editing. A true behind-the-scenes task, this step is essential to enhance a text and give it a real voice! Over the years, my eye has become particularly skilled at tracking punctuation marks.
My mission: to respect the author's style, enhance your text, and most importantly, make it fluid.
I currently work with several publishing houses, whom I thank for their trust, which allows me to stay in constant contact with authors.

    As part of my collaboration with the Maison de la Poésie d'Amay, I am responsible for proofreading the books in the various collections. My keen eye misses no typos and spots all punctuation and consistency issues to make the text flow better. This collaboration has allowed me to better understand authors' intentions and adapt to each person's style, while respecting the requirements of ortho-typographical correction.
