Laure Vicat

Building on a rich and diverse professional background, and with a lifelong passion for reading and writing, I offer my curiosity, rigor, and varied skills to enthusiastically and supportively guide you through the creation of all your written works.

After studying law and practicing in the notary field for over 15 years, my interest in people and the desire to explore new horizons led me to the paramedical sector, where I worked for several years. Life's twists and turns then led me to discover a new area of law through a legal assistant position in a major law firm.

Reading and writing have always been a constant in my life, even if they were in the background, as I am sensitive to the multiple emotions that the precise choice of a word or phrase can evoke.

To satisfy my passion for the French language, I enrolled in the French School for Proofreaders and Editors (Ecole Française de Lecteur-Correcteur) to enhance my knowledge of spelling and grammar, as well as orthotypography and syntax. I thoroughly enjoyed this training, which further awakened my curiosity for the subject, as there are so many subtleties to discover.

Now equipped with the knowledge and methods acquired through this training, and holding the expert-level French Language Certification Le Robert, obtained with a score of 964 out of 1000, I aim to professionalize proofreading, because what could be more fulfilling than combining work and passion?

My company's name is Allegoria, referencing allegory, a figure of speech that allows an abstract idea to be concretely expressed, or how to make something that appears difficult to access seem simple 😊!
