ABOUT

Welcome! I’m Maggie Jones, a US transplant to southwestern France, and founder of W O R D L Y.

I started out in translation with a Toulouse agency primarily serving the aerospace industry. Though technical, this work included plenty of editorial content—newsletters, websites, articles, papers, etc.—which became my niche as I learned the trade.

The best thing about starting my own company in 2006 has been the freedom to follow my curiosity, including branching into research support and writing.

Working with a diverse range of clients in France and beyond, I am honored to play a part in articulating groundbreaking research, the exchange of ideas at international events, the creation of major art exhibitions, and the pursuits of companies large and small.

To each project, I bring deep thinking, enthusiasm for a good challenge, and lifelong reverence for the power of words.
