Erin Daley – Translator, editor, writer

I returned to my mountain home of Nelson, BC, after 15 years in Montreal, where I worked in the fields of translation, copyediting and copywriting. I studied literature, creative writing and translation as well as professional writing and editing at Concordia University. I currently work as a freelance French-to-English translator, editor and writer.

Areas of expertise:
• Advertising and marketing
• Arts and culture
• Business and administration
• Literary
• Web

Services

From translation to editing, I’ll make your words shine.

 

 

French-to-English Translation

Beyond just turning your French text into an English one, I take into account the style, tone, context and audience of your work to make sure it achieves its purpose. I always team up with a professional editor/translator who reviews my work, guaranteeing accuracy and top-notch quality.
You’ll get an error-free translation of your text that reads like it was written originally in English.
Translation is essential for anyone who wants to reach a broader audience with their product, service or project.

Copyediting

The nitty-gritty. Copyediting involves detailed editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, word usage, and other mechanics of style.
You’ll get a clean, error-free document that has been gone through with a fine-tooth comb. All edits will be indicated in Track Changes so that you can see them.
Copyediting is for anyone who wants to get rid of all those pesky little errors in their document.

Copywriting

The wordsmith. Copywriting involves taking your information and ideas and crafting them into words.
Tell me what you want and I’ll write it for you!
Copywriting is for anyone who has a document or project in mind but needs a professional writer to craft it.

   

Testimonials

Here’s what my clients are saying about me.
