Back to original languageAbout Helene
I am Hélène Babouot, a professional proofreader with over 15 years of experience. I offer proofreading and rewriting services for various types of documents: literary manuscripts, translations, product sheets, guides, websites, and more.
My skills:
- Mastery of the language: impeccable spelling, grammar, and syntax.
- Adaptability: ability to understand and respect the style of each text.
- Fluency and clarity: reformulation for smooth and pleasant reading.
- In-depth analysis: for accurate texts tailored to your needs.
Pricing:
The daily rate depends on the type of work. For rewriting or proofreading with many control points (spelling of proper nouns, place names, dates) or very complex and technical texts, the price will be higher than for a simple text.
In order for me to evaluate the work to be done, I would need to receive a few pages or paragraphs of the text to be proofread before providing a quote.
For PDF proofreading requests, corrections are indicated in comments and are to be made by you on the original document. Whenever possible, it is best to have your text proofread before any layout.
Additional skills:
- Layout: creation of clear, attractive, and functional professional layouts for novels, guides, and other documents.
Software used: Microsoft Word and especially Adobe InDesign, for optimal results.
Layouts for print or digital versions.
- Global editorial project management: complete support for book publishing, from conception to publication. Coordination with authors, graphic designers, and printers to ensure quality and adherence to deadlines.
Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your project and see how I can help you achieve your communication and publishing goals.

In 2016, to allow authors to offer their books at fairs, I decided to publish new releases in both print and digital formats. Several books published in previous years were also reissued in print. In total, 20 books were published in print and 29 in ebook format. In late 2019, I decided to cease the activity of this publishing house to focus solely on the upstream part (editorial consulting, proofreading, correction, layout) as a service provider. http://www.editions-la-liseuse.fr/
