French Proofreading for English Author's Book
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
As a native French speaker residing in France, your task will be to perform a final proofread of the French translation of my English book, focusing particularly on overall readability and flow. The book is less than 5000 words, making it a small job.
Key Aspects of the Job:
- Proofreading with a focus on overall readability and flow, ensuring the text reads smoothly and naturally in French.
- Adopting an informal and conversational style in line with the intended tone of the book.
- Targeting the general public as the intended audience.
This job is a stepping stone; if your work on this small booklet is satisfactory and reasonably priced, I will consider you for the larger task of translating my four extensive books into French. Previous experience in proofreading, particularly of translations, is highly desirable. A keen understanding of the nuances of informal French, coupled with an ability to maintain overall readability and flow, will set you apart. Marc V.
