About Claire

I am an independent editor and editorial designer, specializing in the publication of books and magazines.

With a Master's degree in Literature from the Sorbonne and a Master's in Editorial Policy from Villetaneuse, I have acquired comprehensive experience in the book industry. After an apprenticeship at the CNRS, I spent two years managing the editorial content and preparing issues of the Journal de la Société des Océanistes, alongside creating an illustrated literature magazine.

I assist publishing houses, magazines, and authors in all stages of book production:
• Editorial management and publication coordination
• Copyediting and manuscript tracking
• Book interior design layout
• Cover design or adaptation
• Proofreading
• Pre-press and file submission to the printer

Accustomed to long texts and complex editorial projects, I focus on balancing editorial rigor with visual quality to produce readable, coherent, and polished works.

I would be delighted to discuss your editorial project with you.
