Overview

*WHO AM I?*

I’m a seasoned English-to-French literary translator with 15 years of experience, a recognized creative flair, and a genuine passion for exploring imaginary worlds. Over the course of my career, I’ve translated more than 20 books for major publishing houses, like HarperCollins.

Beyond translation, I also provide meticulous proofreading and editorial reviews for novels, comics, and manga. As a writer myself, I craft fantasy novels and children’s books, which enrich my sensitivity to narrative voice and stylistic nuance.

My expertise extends to video game localization, where I bring fantasy, sci-fi, and romance titles to life with immersive atmospheres and punchy dialogues.

*TESTIMONIALS*

Les Chroniques de Ju (reader) - About "La fiancée rebelle"

I’m not usually a big fan of historical novels, yet I really enjoyed this one. The French writing is at times gentle, at times as sharp as a blade, and the story of Seonaid and Blake—marked by clan wars, escapes, and revelations—is truly a pleasure to read.

Anonymous reader - About "La fausse fiancée"

It has everything: endearing characters (without ever slipping into sentimentality), an original story, humor, and love. I devoured this book — the French version is truly addictive.

Anonymous reader - About "Le renard des Highlands"

I must admit that if the French writing hadn’t been so beautiful and poetic, I might not have continued reading… and I would have missed the wonderful story hidden behind that gorgeous cover!
