Highlight
Hello, everyone,
We’re writing to you from among the moving boxes at our new Paris offices and from a motel nestled among the pine trees in the Camargue, where we’re celebrating small-scale publishing with some great independent media publishers.
We can't wait to tell you more and invite you to our housewarming party. This is also news we shared at our two-year anniversary party last week: Médianes is hiring. Two permanent positions are available: web project manager, and business development and marketing manager.
Feel free to share these offers with others. Médianes is also open to new writers! Today, Christelle Perrin, associate artistic director, tackles the issue of bold text.
In the rest of this newsletter, you'll find all the latest news from the studio.
Enjoy the read!
