Back to original languageAbout Gil
Versatile and with a knack for words, I offer engaging texts in various fields, from cultural or scientific journalism to SEO web writing and "brand content".
Passionate about music, art, and cinema, among other things, I have worked as a journalist for the editorial teams of Les Inrockuptibles and Trax Magazine. I also freelance/contribute to the webzine dMute and the English-speaking media Beehype.
Accustomed to writing for the web, I have had several experiences in community management, notably for the Eurockéennes de Belfort festival. I am now involved in the festival's editorial communication, writing artist biographies and profiles, as well as promotional content for press releases. Several examples of these texts are available below, in my portfolio.
Trained in SEO by Lucie Rondelet, I also write optimized content for companies in all sectors: travel, environment, science, digital, food, art, culture, entertainment, etc.
