Overview
Specialized in mass market novels and comic books, I've managed a YA collection at PKJ (one of the most famous youth imprint in France) for 8 years. Romance is where I've had the most success working with best-selling french speaking authors.
How can I help: as an editor and a translator that knows French and French Canadian markets, I can provide you with advices that will help you reach your public there. When I translate I have in mind cultural references (whether it's best to keep them, to explain them or to replace them), humor (if the joke/tone will be understood as you wish in your original work and how to convey it in French) and the specificities of the areas the text is destined to (for example, certain words could be considered offensive in French Canadian but are used as common nouns in everyday French in France)
