Judy Manuzzi

Hello,

My name is Judy and I have been working in the book industry since 2016. I started with studies in languages and international business, I traveled a lot, and I ended up focusing on publishing professions. I worked as an editorial assistant for various organizations (notably Actes Sud) and also as a freelancer (for digital publishers like Mobidys).

A few years ago, I decided to return to bookselling to find diversity, choice, and contact. A decision I do not regret and which allows me to be as close as possible to what readers are looking for. I now know the ins and outs of all the stages of a book's life, from manuscript to marketing, including formatting and promotion.

Whether I was in a publishing house or a bookstore, authors from all walks of life often asked me questions about publishing a text. Where to start, what are the different steps, what should one pay attention to? I looked for a way to answer their questions relevantly to truly help them with their projects.

In 2020, I therefore created my company to support authors in self-publishing their books and to offer them personalized and tailor-made follow-up. Since July 2022, I have been dedicating myself 100% to this activity that I am passionate about.

I can support you on your entire self-publishing project, from manuscript to publication, but also on targeted services:

- Beta reading

- Editorial consulting (development of a strategy by phone/video)

- Copy editing

- Layout (creation of a layout and layout on InDesign software)

- Editorial coordination (management of the different stages and different stakeholders until effective publication)

- Writing (back cover, pitch sheet, press kit, synopsis, letters of intent...).

See you soon
