Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Léna
My name is Léna, I am 23 years old and I live in Rennes, the capital of Brittany. I recently made a career change: after 2 years at the university of languages (LLCER English degree), I became passionate about proofreading and editing.
Trained at EFLC, I found my calling and I am ready to offer my services.
An avid reader since childhood, it has always been my vocation to work in the field of literature.
The profession of proofreader/editor is not yet very widespread, and it is my role to promote it:
◌ Proofreading of manuscripts, copy-editing, proofs...
◌ Hunting down mistakes and typos that may have slipped in
◌ Verification of the French language (spelling, grammar, vocabulary)
◌ Verification of orthotypography and syntax
◌ Rewriting
◌ Fact-checking
◌ Layout and standardization of the document
In a broad sense: making the text as perfect as possible before its publication.
