Back to original languageAbout Sandra
I have been a certified proofreader by the CEC since 2018 and hold the "expert spelling" level of the Voltaire Certificate. To date, I have collaborated on the proofreading and layout of over 300 books for publishing houses and independent authors, among other projects.
My services are aimed at anyone who wishes to communicate in writing in clear, error-free French:
- **Authors**: You have written the story of your life, a novel, a poetry collection... and wish to self-publish or send your manuscript to a publishing house. You want to ensure that your writing contains no spelling, syntax, or punctuation errors. I can help you with proofreading and correction while respecting your style and word choices. I adapt and transcribe into correct usage of the language without substituting myself for you;
- **Professionals**, **companies, associations**: For your communication (advertising, posters, websites...), error-free text will demonstrate your professionalism and allow you to be taken seriously by clients.
- **Publishers**: Proofreading, correcting, and laying out manuscripts.
- **Job seekers**: It is essential to polish your CV and cover letter to secure a job interview;
- **Students**: It would be a shame for an internship report, a thesis, or a dissertation to suffer from poor spelling or confusing layout;
- **Individuals**: For any important correspondence if you have writing difficulties.
I have also enhanced my skills by training as a biographical writer. If you are keen to pass on your story to leave a trace for your loved ones, to share a vision, an experience, or to free yourself from a burdensome past, I will lend you my pen to write your life story.
