As an experienced French proofreader, I have a real enthusiasm, in fact a passion, to fix misspellings, repair broken grammar and tenses, catch typos, language errors and correct punctuation in any document, website, marketing material written in French. My work as a French proofreader goes beyond just corrections but can also include analysing and improving the choice of words and the readability of the texts and documents.
My name is Isabelle and I am a native French speaker with a Modern Language Degree in French with English units that I obtained in June 2006. I have been living in the United Kingdom since 2006 and began by working as a French language teaching assistant in a secondary school. Since then I have been working with the French language as a French translator, French tutor but I especially love working as a French proofreader. I have been working as freelance French proofreader since 2010.
It is really essential to get it right when you have to write a dissertation, a business proposal, a contract or marketing communications. Even simple mistakes in some text can damage brands, cost money, lose you customers or could even cost you valuable points in your exams! Working with an professional French proofreader to verify the text can eliminate this worry.

Proofreading a text written in French for spelling and grammatical errors is only the start though...
Many rely upon software spelling and grammar-checkers to proofread a French text, but they just aren’t good enough! Even if there are no spelling errors, a text can still be embarrassingly bad to read.
As a French proofreader, I want to ensure that the text reads well, has a consistent flow and is written in the right tone. This level of proofreading is accomplished through analysing and improving the choice of words, the readability and by making helpful suggestions where re-phrasing is appropriate for the target audience.
Even after proofreading a text, errors can creep in between the copy writing stage and the design and publishing. Words and typographical characters can be mis-copied or the design layout mis-format an element. A final proofreading before going to the print or uploading is essential.
At best, poor grammar, ambiguous copy and spelling mistakes cost money, resulting in expensive reprints or perhaps even lost customers and at worst can damaging the brand in which you have invested so carefully.
