Translation
With over 20 years' experience as a professional translator, I specialise in Victorian literature and contemporary English and American authors. I have also worked on a wide range of projects, including environmental issues, ecologic transition, historical academic articles, tourism and museum publications, and altered states of conciousness studies (NDE).
At Scriptum, I aim to provide customised and unique translations that are tailored to the specific needs of my clients and their intended audience. And which take into account the localisation process, which is essential for quality work.
Content-Writing
In addition to my translation expertise, I have worked as a journalist in French and English and have managed several websites in both languages. This extensive experience, combined with my work as a writer on Victorian literature and Oscar Wilde, has enabled me to develop the ability to synthesise and write quickly a wide variety of content, whether for cultural or general audiences.
At Scriptum, I offer eclectic content that can be adapted to a variety of publishing media, both physical and digital.
