Back to original languageAbout Virginie
These last fifteen years have been infinitely rich in encounters and experiences in the history of the Second World War, publishing, communication, culture, heritage, tourism, and accessibility.
Exhibition content to research, write, and then quickly proofread while carrying out other urgent tasks to ensure everything is ready on D-day...
Just hours before the opening, on the introductory panel, this huge, too-visible typo...
Communication materials produced internally that would benefit from an outside perspective...
Visitor booklets for which adapted writing is necessary...
Entire paragraphs of a catalog to rewrite urgently...
And then, the final proofread before printing, the pressure of not forgetting anything...
To provide answers to these situations, the company Au gré des mots was created.
Several services are offered: proofreading, correction, writing; rewriting proposals; advice and support in historical and documentary research, collection, and transcription.
Aware of tight budgets and sometimes short deadlines, I adapt my rates without ever neglecting professionalism and expertise.
Au gré des mots is aimed at professionals in the editorial chain, local authorities and institutions, associations and foundations, schools and universities, tourist offices, museums, as well as heritage and cultural establishments.
The guiding principle is summarized in these words: kindness, listening, sharing, transmission, trust, and respect.
