Proofreading: No Ads Please

I served as final proofreader for the English edition of No Ads Please written by Rémi Babinet and published by JBE Books in Paris, ensuring linguistic precision, cultural accuracy, and historical consistency throughout the text.

Working within a strict editorial charter, my role was to safeguard coherence at every level, from syntax and rhythm to terminology, references, and tone. Each correction balanced fidelity to the original voice with clarity for an English-speaking audience, respecting both the author’s intent and the book’s cultural context.

The mission was not to rewrite, but to refine. To remove friction, preserve meaning, and ensure the text reads with authority, consistency, and quiet confidence from first page to last.
