About Mathieu

I have been passionate about literature for years. I am particularly interested in semantics and rhetoric. Our dear French language, with its sometimes obscure rules, can take tortuous paths, and between what one wishes to express, what one thinks one is saying, and what the other truly understands of our message, there can be a gap. A gap that certain mistakes can turn into a real abyss!

I offer to carefully remove these thorns from your texts, in order to reveal their clarity: impeccable grammar, respecting typographical norms, with the possibility of revisiting certain sentences, certain passages, while respecting your writing style. I want to help you add that little touch that will enhance your writing before publication, make it clearer, and more... Impactful? Fluid? Formal? Friendly? It's up to you to choose.

Whether they are novels, memoirs, or press articles, it is with pleasure, rigor, and sensitivity that I will help you shape your texts. Do not hesitate to contact me so that we can define our scope of work together.

Experience

  • Particulier
    Proofreader - Editor
    September 2024 - October 2024 (1 month)
    Proofreading, editing (grammar, style, typography), and writing the back cover blurb for a collection of portraits of women who marked history. The author was then looking for her style, oscillating between friendly and academic, and was not comfortable with certain writing codes. An exercise of about 150 pages, which required me to be very meticulous.
