I have written the opening plus Chapter 1 of a thriller in French—well over 5 000 words—and now need a meticulous polish. The text is already in Microsoft Word; I simply want the prose tightened so it feels natively French, razor-sharp, and relentlessly suspenseful. Here is what I expect from you: • Work directly in the .docx file, using Word’s Track Changes so I can see every adjustment. • Respect my content completely: no additions, deletions, or plot tweaks—this is pure stylistic refinement. • Elevate rhythm, punctuation, dialogue layout, and typographic conventions typical of a French thriller while preserving my voice. • Perform all edits yourself; I do not want AI-generated or machine-translated alterations. Deliver two files when finished—one with visible revisions, one clean and ready for the next stage of the manuscript. If you are a native French speaker with a flair for tense, cinematic storytelling, I look forward to reading your polished version.
