I would like to highlight my dual experience, initially technical [electronics, electrical, audio-visual...] and media-oriented, and more recently, concentrating on translation, writing and proof-reading. I have significant experience of script-writing / editing / directing, and particularly writing for performance.

Please note that I can proof-read English texts originating from French, or general English text without reference to other original languages.

I offer a specially high-quality translation service, with a meticulous attention to detail at every stage, and reliable turnaround times.

Please enquire for translation rates, which are established in €uros and so £ or $ rates may fluctuate if exchange rates vary.

Depending on the exact scale of your project, I am MORE THAN HAPPY TO DISCUSS A SPECIAL TARIFF on a ‘per job’ basis — for example, when dealing with Websites (for which I propose a special tariff — please enquire for fuller details).

 I am always willing to try to help you out if you have a problem that needs solving — a service much appreciated by my faithful and regular clients.

 Try me, you WON’T be disappointed !
