Like an orchestra conductor, I provide my clients with practical advice, my rigor, and my 15 years of expertise as a multi-format editorial manager to bring ideas to fruition.
My scope is broad and encompasses several areas:
- Books: Editorial conception and management from idea to pre-press; together, we'll find ways to make your ideas relevant content, interesting for all types of readers.
- Words: Writing, proofreading, advice, and rewriting of your texts and documents; I handle these key stages of communication or content creation, either alone or with your authors.
- Images: Iconographic research and negotiation with artists, rights holders, and agencies.
- Ideas: Translation and revision of ENG > FR translations.
My strength = over 200 published books, some award-winning (Grand Prix de l'Académie de marine, Médaille de la Société de Géographie, Grand Prix Jules Verne, Prix des Perles du Beau Livre, World Cookbook Award, special mention from the Organisation of Wine and Vine...)
To achieve this, I've had to create, invent, adapt, and find the right words, images, and contacts, sometimes on very tight deadlines. Not to mention taking care of a being as strange as it is captivating: my Author.
