About Melanie

I am a French (native) - English translator with 5+ years of experience in the publishing world. I lived in the United States for over 18 years, where I pursued higher education in anthropology.

I am proficient in both technical and informal registers, but I specialize in translating academic articles (natural sciences and social sciences). My clients include lawyers, archaeological services, CNRS researchers, and research laboratories.

I offer fast and excellent quality work.

    January 2022 - Today (4 years and 5 months)
    Gourdon, France
    I created a sole proprietorship for clients associated with universities and research centers who required a SIRET number. I now primarily translate and edit articles or volumes for archaeologists or historians. The goal is to enable them to publish their work so it is accessible to the English-speaking world or, in the case of correction/rewriting, to elevate the register to an academic level.
