I provide professional quality work ready for publication. From my
life experience in five countries on three continents, I have a thorough
understanding of American and European cultures, including different writing
styles in French and English. Beyond simple translation or editing, I adapt your
prose to its purpose—whether it be an article for a specialized journal, a
brochure or a web site—, in accordance with scientific and/or technical writing
norms. |
