Welcome
I am Sarah Patey, trading as Le Mot Juste – a name chosen because of the value I place on words, detail and accuracy.
What do I offer?
For your text, I offer:
- a trained and experienced professional eye
- careful attention to detail and clarity
- a new pair of eyes to ensure your text is effective
To you, the client, I offer:
- a prompt and affordable service
- an approachable expert
- clarity on deadlines and costs
I provide specialist services to publishers and to academics and students:

- copy-editing in English
(If you are wondering about the difference between these two, the website of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders provides helpful descriptions of proofreading and copy-editing.)
- translation from French and German into English
- development editing (languages, history)
