Julie Meugnier – Translator

Bringing romance and fantasy to French readers - EN>FR translator - 125+ books - 10 years experience of proofreading

Overview

With 125+ books translated for both publishing houses and independent authors, I bring 10 years of experience as a proofreader and a deep understanding of what makes a story shine in French. I specialize in romance and fantasy. My proofreading background also means a sharp eye for detail, consistency, and polished prose—from the first draft to the final page

I’ve worked with Hachette (France’s second-largest publishing group), Éditions Bookmark, Juno Publishing, Les Plumes du Web (including translating Emily McIntire’s series), as well as several translation agencies and independent authors.

I’m open to both short- and long-term collaborations.
