About Margot

Freelance editor and proofreader since 2013, I am available for all sorts of editorial missions, from project management to the proofreading of texts, including content integration into layouts using InDesign.

Regarding proofreading, I have proofread two novels and about ten final theses on a freelance basis, not to mention the various texts for which my skills in spelling and rewriting have been called upon in my capacity as a company editor.

As for my project management skills, I acquired them both during my Master's degree in Publishing and through my experiences as an editor in a training agency specializing in e-learning and as an editorial project manager in a communication agency.

You can also call on me for editorial secretariat, iconographic research, writing, semantic and editorial analysis, or training module acceptance testing.

Do not hesitate to contact me to participate in your projects or for any additional information requests.
