CV
Chloé Bonfils
Trained across several international contexts (five countries), I have developed a strong interest in cultural circulation and the challenges of translation. I work in both French and English (editorial reading) and am proficient in several languages. This perspective informs my editorial approach and my attention to contexts of production and reception.
