Spécialiste des traductions français-anglais prêtes pour
la publication
Traducteur et rédacteur français-anglais
diplômé de l'université de Cambridge : business, marketing, communication,
sites internet, tourisme, journalisme.
• Linguiste qualifié et diplômé des universités de Cambridge, Londres et
Liverpool, je suis rédacteur professionnel et traducteur depuis presque 20 ans.
• Fort d’un doctorat de langues, ainsi que d’une carrière d’écrivain et
d’éditeur britannique, je dispose d’une réelle expertise de la langue anglaise.
• Mon domaine privilégié de compétences est la traduction dans le marketing
(accroches, argumentaires de vente), la communication (communiqués de presse,
dossiers de presse), le tourisme (newsletters, brochures, sites internet) et le
journalisme.
• Je possède un atout unique : j'ai fait mes preuves et compte plusieurs
publications à mon actif, à la fois en tant que traducteur professionnel et en
tant qu'auteur.
• Mes traductions sont essentiellement destinées à la presse, notamment aux
journaux, revues et magazines, et comprennent également des comptes rendus
universitaires et des documents d'orientation stratégique.
• Mon travail est tout aussi présent sur de nombreux sites Internet commerciaux
ou à but non lucratif appartenant à une gamme de clients prestigieux : musées,
ONG, organisations intergouvernementales, offices de tourisme, entreprises,
universités et banques d'investissement.
• Les campagnes de marketing intelligent, de publicité et de recrutement font
partie intégrante de ma production hebdomadaire, de même que les brochures,
rapports d'activités et bilans annuels d'entreprise.
• En résumé, je réponds aux demandes de clients qui accordent la même valeur
que moi à l'art de l'écrit – à sa capacité à éduquer, informer et frapper les
esprits !
