Revision, editing, and post-editing:
Honing your words!

Your words are like your calling card. If your presentation contains any mistakes or typos, it will suggest you’re careless and, possibly, even untrustworthy. On the other hand, if your pitch is flawless, you’ll make an excellent lasting impression on your audience. With my revision I guarantee your language product is not only grammatically and syntactically perfect, but also speaks to your audience in precisely the tone you’ve chosen.

I offer revision, editing, and post-editing services to clients seeking help with Italian or Brazilian Portuguese projects already in hand. After clarifying the target of your communication, I’ll make sure your project is flawless as well as fluid and a pleasure to read.

Revision is not simply rereading, it’s a process of honing of your message, achieving a better definition of the spirit and feeling of a text. All authors of original texts and translations struggle with revision, even the great poet T. S. Eliot in his poem “Little Gidding” revealed:

…The end is where we start from. And every phrase
And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together)…

My revision, editing, and post-editing services:

Translation revisions

Despite your efforts at translating a text, do you fear it might have mistakes or read in a stilted style? Do you have understandable doubts after using an automatic translation software?

Let me compare it with the source text. I’ll find and correct any errors and clarify the translation so your text will read like an accurate and fluent rendering of the original.

I revise texts:

E

translated from Brazilian Portuguese into Italian;

E

translated from English into Italian.

Editing and post-editing

Have you written an important document in Italian, like a thesis or an article for publication? You know that no one will devote attention to your text unless it’s a pleasurable read.

I offer editing and post-editing services to rid your document of mistakes, to format notes and bibliographies, and to make it read smoothly.

Because your written text talks about your concerns in your particular style, I treat each revision project individually. Once I’ve revised or edited your work, you know it’s so perfect it can go directly online or to press.
