I am glad you came. Here is what I can do for you, who I am, and what helps me stand out: (1) I will bring your ideas to life and make the content captivating. - Whether it's crafting engaging articles, short stories, or speeches; meticulously editing manuscripts, website pages, or product descriptions; or building convincing presentations, I excel at clear and powerful communication and attention to detail; and also, I might add, at human relations. - I am a very good listener and an effective coach. (2) My background is as rich as my writings. - As an accomplished writer and an author (90,000-word mystery novel, currently in the editing phase with my publisher), I possess a deep understanding of language and storytelling. - My high-quality education (Liberal Arts, Languages, BS, MBA) and broad experience on several continents (art dealer, art investing consultant, author, international finance executive and private wealth advisor) further equip me to tackle any project, starting with yours. (3) I'm a skilled communicator and collaborator. - My bilingual fluency (English-French) allows for seamless translation. - Beyond languages, I excel in research, problem-solving, and strategic thinking. And a great sense of organization. - And all of this not without a touch of humor if and when needed. (4) I have lived by deadlines for my entire career and I meet them, and I am available in my clients' time zones (5) Above all, I am passionate about words and language, and I never fail to respect the author’s meaning and intent in my work. If the above resonates with you in any way, I'll be happy to learn more about your project and discuss with you how I can help get it to where you want it - or maybe even better. Respectfully, Jean Tardy-Vallernaud
