As a seasoned language professional and self-confessed grammar and punctuation geek, I'm well versed in plain language principles, knowledgeable about accessibility requirements and comfortable working with style guides (CMOS, APA, AMA, AMS, CP, CS, etc.). I work with publishers, scholars, authors, content providers and subject matter experts in a wide range of fields and disciplines. I'm at home with the written word, from technical and administrative texts like policies and regulations, user guides and user interface text, contracts and other legal documents, help text, "read me" documents and alt text to marketing and branding campaign material, always mindful of considerations for content that will be translated. Whether a document needs a substantive edit, just a little polishing or a creative touch to bring it to life, I can help.As an editor, I live and die by rules of course, but I also work hard to remember that sometimes it's okay to break them.I have many years' experience bringing my discerning eye to all tasks language-related, including: Copyediting and structural editingFrench-to-English translation and comparative French-English editingProofreadingTechnical writingTypesetting and digital typographyLaTeX (editing, troubleshooting, creating class files)Working with publishers, authors and content providersDeveloping in-house style guidesImproving communications through design, type and layoutCarrying out terminological researchI'm familiar with WCAG 2.X, AODA and other accessibility considerations. Bilingual, I'm at ease in both French and English work environments.
