Perry Leopard’s Summary
I've worked in France for more than 15 years as an English-language writer and editor, in publishing, advertising and corporate communications.
I have also done acting and voice work on many occasions over the last 25 years. I'm always open to a gig in this field.
I'm currently freelancing, but I'd be happy to consider a job in a town on the Mediterranean or in New Orleans.
I'm currently living in Buenos Aires, until mid-January at least, and am looking for work there.
Perry Leopard’s Specialties:
As well as being an experienced writer and editor, I am a very good French-to-English translator, and a fair English-to-French translator.
