Description

✍️ Professional proofreader – orthography, typography, and rewriting

After ten years of experience as an editorial assistant, I decided to leverage my French language skills and my knowledge of the book industry to become a freelance proofreader and editor.

In 2024, I completed the training at the École Française de Lecteur-Correcteur and achieved expert level in the Le Robert Certification.

What I offer:

Spelling, grammar, and typography correction (French national printing standards)
Rewriting to improve flow or rephrase without altering the style
Copy preparation
Integrating corrections in InDesign

My areas of expertise:

Manga, comics, and webtoons
Art books, illustrated books, coffee table books
Speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror)
Cookbooks on pop culture or video game themes
School or supplementary textbooks

For whom?

Publishing houses
Self-published authors seeking professional support

I can proofread according to your needs, using track changes in Microsoft Word, with comments on PDFs, or by directly integrating corrections into the layout in InDesign.
