Do I keep all rights to the French translation of my book?

Yes, you do. The translation is provided for a flat fee, with no royalties or percentage of future sales. You are free to publish the French version as you wish, including submitting it to a French publishing house. These terms are clearly set out in our contract before the project begins.

Will I work directly with you?

Yes. I work directly with every author throughout the project, from the initial discussion to the completion of the translation.

Do you use AI?

My translations are carried out by me, not generated by AI. I may use translation technology to support certain aspects of my work, but every text is personally translated, reviewed, and validated by me. I remain fully responsible for every sentence I deliver.
