Je suis francophone et amoureux de ma langue, je suis Québécois. Je suis un médiateur et un empathe. Je peux me placer dans votre peau et embrasser vos aspirations. J'ai quelques expériences de rédaction dans une publication syndicale ainsi qu'en rédaction persuasive. J'ai beaucoup d'expérience en matière de justice civile et une compréhension innée du langage juridique. Dès les débuts de ma scolarisation, j'ai été remarqué par mes professeurs pour la qualité de ma langue. J'ai un regard qui m'appartient. J'identifie les "patterns", détecte les faux. Je vise la plus grande précision, je cherche le mot exact, la nuance convoitée.

Copy editing and proofreading for nonfiction books, reports, academic manuscripts, and high-stakes professional communications. I’m an editor with more than 20 years of experience across publishing, scholarly journals, government, and corporate communications. I help authors and organizations make complex writing clear, consistent, credible, and ready for publication or release—without flattening the author’s voice or changing the intended meaning. My experience includes work for University of Toronto Press, Peter Lang, Routledge, DIO Press, peer-reviewed medical and academic journals, and public-sector teams. I edit: • Nonfiction books and memoirs • Reports, briefings, policy materials, and stakeholder communications • Journal articles, theses, and research-based manuscripts • Web content, presentations, correspondence, and executive materials Services include copy editing, line editing, final proofreading, plain-language revision, style-sheet development, and reference and style-guide checks. I work confidently in US, UK, and Canadian English and with Chicago, APA, AMA, CSE, and Canadian Press style. Clients value my editorial judgment, careful handling of sensitive material, and ability to improve flow and readability while preserving voice, nuance, and technical accuracy. I work in Microsoft Word with tracked changes and clear comments and can adapt to established approval processes, house styles, and multi-reviewer workflows. Send the document type, word count, deadline, and a short sample. I’ll recommend the appropriate level of editing and provide a clear quote.

If you need assistance to improve your original work in English, I can help you. For me, the nice thing about knowing an international language like English is that it doesn't really matter to me what you need to communicate in English or for what reason you need to write it. I enjoy words and language. I have an excellent grasp of many of the rules of the English language. My own academic background includes an M.A. in Political Science. Much of what I have worked on are academically-related papers and reports. I don't want to do your homework, but I would love to try to improve what you have written. I have the privilege of also receiving papers from other sources, so I have worked on about 173 projects over just short of two and a half years.

I help organizations turn English content into French that feels clear, natural and genuinely adapted to French Canadian audiences. As a native French Canadian translator from Quebec, fully bilingual in English and French, I care deeply about making every text sound polished, accurate and easy to understand. With a university degree in translation and 12 years of experience, I bring together linguistic precision, cultural sensitivity and a practical eye for detail. I enjoy the balance between accuracy and tone: keeping the original meaning intact while making the French version feel natural, confident and human. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to support organizations and translation agencies on a wide variety of content, from training and educational materials to websites, applications, marketing and business communications, company policies, technical manuals, SDS, brochures, legal documents, administrative documents and video scripts. What I bring to each project • Clear and reliable English-to-French translation, proofreading, editing and localization. • Careful attention to accuracy, fluency, tone, terminology, consistency and readability. • A thoughtful approach to adapting content so it feels right for the audience, format and purpose. • A steady focus on consistency across documents, digital platforms, training materials and business communications. • A detail-oriented quality check that helps content feel polished, professional and ready to share. I especially enjoy working on content that needs both precision and good judgment. Whether I am refining an existing translation, localizing content for Quebec or French Canada, or preparing polished French copy for publication, I aim to be a reliable partner who listens carefully, asks the right questions and cares about the final result. Services: English-to-French translation, French proofreading, editing, localization, terminology review, quality control and linguistic adaptation. If you are looking for a thoughtful language partner to help make your French content clear, accurate, culturally appropriate and pleasant to read, I would be happy to connect and learn more about your needs.
