Work history
Assistant Editor
- Toulouse, FranceFull Time
As an editorial assistant, I had my own projects to manage, including two novelty books for 6 and 7 years-old children, as well as republishing older books, both illustrated books and novels. I worked closely with both the design and the production team. My tasks also included working on international rights, reading committees and check on the ePub versions of our YA novels.
This year allowed me to develop many skills, both industry-specifc and administrative skills such as simultaneously managing various projects, for which I needed to adapt quickly to the company’s organisation, as well as communication skills, as I needed to be in contact with authors and illustrators, designers and the production team.
