About Séphora

Freelance since October 2020, I support publishing houses, professionals, and individuals in their editorial projects, from content preparation to finalization, including layout and proofreading.

COPY EDITING / PROOFREADING / EDITING / REWRITING 💯✅
I offer copy editing, proofreading, editing, and rewriting services for all types of texts. My work covers, in particular, orthotypography, grammar, syntax, style improvement, and fact-checking (verification and writing of sources, numerical data, graphics, tables, maps, etc.). Depending on the project needs, corrections can be made on Word, PDF, or directly in InDesign.

LAYOUT 💻📃
I carry out layout or assembly on InDesign, starting from an original creation or an existing graphic charter. I work on various media, from novels to art books, including academic works, children's books, and practical guides. I also handle the iconographic part on Photoshop: visual preparation, background removal, minor retouching, vector image integration, print standard verification, etc.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT 🗂️📅
I manage editorial projects for publishing houses, working directly with authors and illustrators. I ensure the smooth coordination of different stages (preparation, layout, proofreading, corrections) to guarantee a fluid project flow, respecting deadlines and my clients' graphic intentions.

Rigorous and attentive to the smallest details, I quickly identify inconsistencies, awkward phrasing, and blocking points to enhance the readability, coherence, and editorial quality of a text.

Do you have an editorial project, a text to proofread, or a layout to create? Contact me to discuss it. 💬
