About Michael
Vous avez besoin de contenu en anglais qui sonne vraiment anglais ? Je suis journaliste et consultant en relations publiques, de langue maternelle anglaise, basé en Normandie. Je travaille à partir de vos briefs en français - vous communiquez dans votre langue, je rédige dans la mienne.
Native English writer & PR consultant with 29 years' experience, including 18 as Communications Lead at CAP HPI in the UK. Based in Normandy and available to French businesses needing polished, professional English - not translated English.
Direct translation often doesn't work. Living here, I know that translation apps can lose rhythm, tone, personality and even meaning. I offer something better by taking your French brief, existing copy or a translated draft and writing it properly in English. The kind of English that a native speaker actually uses.
I work across: website and marketing copy, press releases and media relations, thought leadership articles, newsletters and email content. I can also rewrite your existing French-to-English translations to better inspire an English audience.
I already work regularly with UK-based businesses, specialising in the automotive market data sector, producing press releases, thought leadership and trade media content. For French businesses I offer the same reliability and professional standard. I am often used by startups, for whom rapid scaling includes establishing an impressive media presence.
English-language communications done quickly and to a high standard. If you're pitching to international investors, launching in English-speaking markets or simply want your website to stop sounding like it was run through Google Translate, I can help.

Day rate: €450
Project rates available on request.
Note: Although I work remotely, I am happy to meet and work with clients in person when needed. Paris and other major cities are within easy reach for me by train.
