The four pillars of my work
Expertise
Trained in modern languages and law, I combine literary and legal know-how to ensure the content of your document is expressed correctly and elegantly. I focus on the subjects I know best: law, literature, music, philosophy and religion.
Experience
With over 25 years of professional experience, I have a solid grounding in editorial and translating skills. My specialities include revising documents written by authors unsure of their English and editing academic papers with detailed bibliographical and legal references.
Rigour
Your document will be given the closest attention and treated confidentially. I rely on both computer tools and my attention to detail to pick up mistakes, inconsistencies and unclear wording. Once a deadline has been set, I keep to it.
Cooperation
My priority is to understand your message and convey it faithfully. Before a project is undertaken, we will draw up a brief defining the work required, any applicable stylistic conventions and the nature of our collaboration.
