I run a publishing house (Éditions Localement Transcendantes — 50+ titles distributed through the French national bookstore network) and I typeset every book myself in Adobe InDesign. This means I don't just "do layout." I understand the entire editorial chain — from manuscript to print-ready PDF to EPUB3 to distribution metadata — because I do it all, for my own books and for clients. What sets me apart: Multilingual & bidirectional typesetting. My catalogue includes a 775-page trilingual edition of Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed (Hebrew, Arabic and French in the same volume) and multiple works with embedded Hebrew, Greek and transliterated text. I handle RTL/LTR mixed composition natively — not as a workaround. Scholarly apparatus. Footnotes, endnotes, cross-references, indices, bibliographies, critical apparatus — I've typeset 500+ page philosophical monographs where getting this right is the entire job. Print + digital. Every title I publish exists in both print (via ISBN/distribution) and EPUB3 (Kobo, Amazon KDP). I produce both formats from a single InDesign source. I read what I typeset. With a Master's in Philosophy from the Sorbonne, I understand the content of academic and scholarly texts. I catch errors that a pure layout person would miss — because I actually follow the argument.
