About

Hello, Bonjour !

I’m James, an English Professor who has been living and working in France for three years. I currently work at a technological high school and give private English lessons on the side. I have a flexible schedule and am readily available to take on projects that require quick turnarounds.

My primary skills are copyediting, rewriting, proofreading, French-to-English translation, and audio transcription.

I take pride in my methodical work ethic and the fact that I never turn in a final product that isn't polished and ready to publish.

I double majored in French and English Literature and did a Masters in French Literature, so I'm no stranger to reading, writing, editing, proofreading and translating in both languages. Despite my literary background, my language skills are not restricted to academia, and I'm capable of working with anything from technical writing to multimedia, forums, blogs, and videos. My range of skills is wide and thus so are my work interests.

Although I am relatively new to freelancing, I have already established a good reputation and a few loyal clients. I had my first opportunity to work as a freelance translator last year, which consisted of a French-to-English translation of a biography of the French painter Claire Basler; you can find the beautiful published book of her life's work online. Since then, I’ve worked primarily on editing and proofreading book summaries written in English for a French Startup that reviews financial self-help books, along with a handful of corporate financial requests for technological development projects. I’ve also recently done some translation of CVs, cover letters, and visa applications.

As of March 2019, I have just created a profile on Hubstaff, but have you can find out more about me on "that other" freelancing site.

Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. I look forward to working with you!
