GENERAL AND TECHNICAL TRANSLATION
I provide general and technical translations using English and French as both source and target languages, i.e. English into French, and French into English. I work mainly with British English, occasionally American English, and with both standard French and Belgian French. Being a native speaker of both languages, I pride myself on accurately recreating not only the content but also the tone, intent and pacing of source material.

I have translated a wide variety of texts, including company brochures, press packs, website content, articles, theses, curriculum vitae, grant applications, academic texts, and administrative documents. I have also translated short stories, poems and songs.

Technical translation
Having studied politics to postgraduate level, worked both in microfinance and for NGOs (communications and projects), and collaborated closely with clients active in specific industries, I specialise in the following industries and subjects:
- The not-for-profit sector, development, and development economics
- Politics and geopolitics (especially the Middle East and the EU)
- Economics, the financial industry and microfinance
- Texts relating to business, SMEs andor international commerce
- The Web industry
- The publishing industry
- Literary translations

I also have a good understanding of other social sciences not mentioned above, including geography and modern history, and an interest in psychology and psychoanalysis.

EDITORIAL SERVICES
I offer comprehensive proofreading, copywriting and ghost writing services in both English and French. I have experience writing the following:
- Marketing materials (including brochures, press releases and press packs)
- Articles (blogs and other online copy)

- Curriculum vitae, cover letters and job advertisements

Creative writing
Literary translations and jobs involving creative writing (fiction, poetry and lyrics) are particularly welcome. I write poetry and fiction, and have translated poems, the occasional pop song and fiction, from both English into French, and French into English. Please note that creative writing may be subject to the signing of a confidentiality clause.

Types of lessons:
