Translation
I translate your books from English and Spanish into French, with or without AI assistance, depending on your goals and budget. My mission: faithful, subtle translations that capture your voice, your world, and your tone to offer French readers a seamless, immersive reading experience.
Revision & Editing
Whether translated or written directly in French, does your manuscript need a stylistic polish? I refine flow, tone, and overall coherence to deliver an engaging, natural text that honors your original intent while connecting with the French-speaking market.
Proofreading
Has your French text been reviewed and just needs one last meticulous pass? I track down the final typos, spelling glitches, grammatical errors, and formatting quirks before publication.
Transcreation
Untranslatable puns, punchy book titles, slogans, or promotional copy: I adapt your creative messaging into French while keeping its heart, tone, and impact fully intact. Essential for titles, series names, and marketing campaigns.
Beta Reading
Looking for an expert editorial eye on your manuscript? I provide comprehensive feedback on story structure, pacing, plot consistency, and character arcs. Beta reading focuses purely on storytelling and reader engagement.
Cultural Consulting
With a deep understanding of the French literary ecosystem, I help align your titles, covers, blurb copy, and editorial hooks with local expectations. Avoid awkward phrasing, cultural faux pas, and translations that miss the mark.

With 10 published novels and 4 literary awards, I know what it’s like on your side of the page. I understand the heart you pour into a book and how crucial it is to find the exact words to move your readers.

No agency middlemen, no lost context, no generic customer support. From initial query to final delivery, you work directly with me: one dedicated partner who knows every nuance of your project.
An avid reader, I love exploring diverse genres and discovering fresh voices. Translating and editing new authors is a genuine passion: every manuscript is an invitation to step into a new universe. This love for storytelling guides my craft and keeps the ultimate goal front and center: the reader’s delight.
Screenplays, synopses, short stories, novels, poetry, bedtime tales, and ad copy—I’ve worked across a vast range of creative formats. Bold ideas don’t intimidate me. In prose or verse, storytelling has no limits beyond imagination!

Diane is a wonderful translator! Not only is she very communicative and prompt, but she also made sure to collaborate with me on many tricky words/phrases to ensure the translation was accurate while still maintaining my “voice”. I will be using her again for any future French translations.
Victoria Aveline
Diane was a pleasure to work with. It’s not an easy thing to translate sci-fi, with various words that don’t quite translate, but she was great to collaborate with, structured and organised. We’ll definitely work with each other again!
Thomas R. Weaver
Diane was fabulous to work with! She responded promptly, helped me with market research for covers and titles to work in French and she kept amazing spreadsheets with keywords, inquiries on words and phrases to clarify and other things. I will definitely be working with her again!
Lauren Smith
Diane is a pleasure to work with. She’s extremely professional, well-organised and efficient, with great attention to detail and she has also been very patient with “special requests”. I’ve really enjoyed working with her.
