Targetwrite provides high-quality English writing services to French companies across an array of business sectors

.
Targetwrite:

  • creates compelling English content that avoids the “translation trap” in which your intended meaning is distorted or lost entirely;
  • ensures your words in English say what you mean with clarity and precision;
  • employs only experienced, native English-speaking writers who create original text that bypasses translation;
  • is your reliable source for high-impact English content.


Why getting the meaning right in English is so important


English is the main language of the Internet.
English is also the common language of international companies’ key audiences.
Yet, too often, good ideas get lost in translation.

As a result, your communication is ineffective - or even counterproductive.

And you waste time and money on poor quality text that reflects badly on you.


We add value by saying what you mean in English

First, we make sure that we understand what you mean to say. We then find the words that communicate the exact meaning in the English-language business culture.

We work from briefings and materials in French or in English; you don’t need to spend time on a first draft in French.

We write in our native language, English, and are fluent in French.

Because we are truly bi-cultural English/French, we create content which embodies the precise meaning of your words in the English cultural setting, rather than in words that may seem a reasonable direct translation.
