Florence in a few words
I am a French national with 35 years' experience in native speaker checks, editing, proofreading and permission clearance, working mainly with educational publishers. I will happily help anyone wishing to self-publish a novel in French. I also teach my mother tongue and provide translations, preferably from English.
