Back to original languageAbout Manon
As an editing professional, I'd be delighted to help you with all your projects!
With a Master's degree in Publishing and 3 years of experience as an editorial assistant and reader for Auzou and Bayard Jeunesse publishing houses, I am eager to enrich, perfect, and guide your texts towards publication.
3 years of experience means:
- Extensive editorial follow-up on various formats and themes: YA fantasy, contemporary fiction for 8-12 year olds, adventure novels for 7+, YA romantasy, mystery novels for 7+...
- Abundant illustration supervision: selecting scenes to illustrate, angle relevance, movement, consistency with the text, coloring...
- Hundreds of manuscript readings: participation in editorial committees, reader's reports, constructive critique of texts...
- Nearly as many back cover blurbs: this short summary can sometimes make all the difference, never neglect it!
- Unbeatable sales pitches: presenting your project well is essential!
While children's literature is my specialty, I also have a strong fondness for romance, fantasy, and romantasy.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your needs and get a personalized quote. Looking forward to hearing from you!
