Good words can’t write themselves.
In Other Words is a collective of independent consultants. A magazine, a brand voice or one stubborn paragraph: we’ll get it right. The result? Words that get read. And remembered.
Four personalities. Four voices. One team. We respect each other and we complement each other. We don’t fight either, minus the occasional very civil debate over a comma. We don’t sound alike. And that’s the whole point.
For every project, we pick the right people for the job. Sometimes your voice, sometimes ours. No middlemen, no endless meetings. Got an idea? We’ve got the words.
Elena joined In Other Words after several years in advertising. She specialises in editorial project management – spanning editor-in-chief duties to creative content – for magazines and coffee-table books.
A true all-rounder, Elena is happiest when no two projects look alike. She lives between two cultures and two airports, Mauritius and the southwest of France. Warning: don’t get her started on the latter!

Words, images and Mauritian culture have shaped Mélissa’s career. She moved back to the island after a Master’s in communications in London, helped launch Kozé magazine, then co-founded In Other Words.
Her happy place? Writing about things she cares about, matcha in hand, dogs within reach. Since 2022, she also co-directs the Samudra Art Prize, a biennial competition for art and the environment.

Sandra spent years in communications and publishing, between France, where she’s from, and Mauritius, her adopted home, before going solo. She has a ruthless eye for detail. Friendly? Always. Lenient with typos? Never.
Articles, translations into French, communication strategy: that’s her cup of tea. Quite literally. When she’s not working, she travels and hunts down the best tearoom in every city.

Jyoti is a writer, translator, strategist… and a baker! She studied journalism in Boston, then worked as a journalist between Mauritius and Mumbai, via Singapore and Poland. In 2024, she came home with a worldview shaped by far too many layovers. Today, she writes for magazines, brands and businesses.
In her spare time, she tests cake recipes, referees twins, or writes the conclusion before the introduction. Structure? Merely a suggestion.

Bringing a new publication to life takes time, ideas and real expertise. We’re with you from editorial strategy to the final proofread before print, and everything in between: page planning, finding the right people to write, illustrate and translate, design advice…
Words are our core business. We write all kinds of content, in whatever format you need. And we’re just as happy to polish what you’ve already written, through editing and proofreading.
Obviously, we can write. But what we do best is shape your message for your audience and your format, so it lands harder. SEO blog articles, press kits, brochures, websites: whatever you need, we turn your message into communication that’s useful, honest and effective.
A good translation isn’t about matching words. It’s about meaning, tone and everything hiding between the lines. We know both languages inside out, so we translate into French and into English with precision. AI could never. (It still thinks “actually” means “actuellement”.)
Before content, there’s personality. Every brand has its own values and a vision of its own. We put words to that identity and help you set the right direction for your brand voice, using strategic tools we’ve tested and trust.
Publishing is our passion. We have dozens of books and magazines under our belt, all made with the same love of a good story. Want to send a strong message, leave a mark, or tell your brand’s story? We’ll help you bring it to life.
