The ebook went live last week. Today, I held the first physical proof copy of Microsoft Copilot for Freelancers in my hands. It was a surprisingly emotional moment — one I didn’t fully anticipate.

There is something deeply different about holding a printed book compared to reading it on a screen. Every page represents a decision, a rewrite, a moment of doubt resolved. Seeing my name on that cover — Sylvain Jacquemard — made it real in a way the digital version couldn’t.

📖 Why this book, why now

Over the past year, I’ve had dozens of conversations with freelancers, independent consultants, and solopreneurs who all asked the same question: “Copilot sounds great — but how does it actually fit into how I work?”

Not how it fits into a 500-person company. Not the enterprise use cases. How does a single person — running their own practice, handling their own clients, doing their own admin — actually use this technology to move faster and work smarter?

That question didn’t have a good answer in book form. So I wrote one.

🎯 What the book covers

The subtitle is From prospecting to year-end: AI at the service of your independence. The book covers the full freelance lifecycle through the lens of Microsoft Copilot and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem:

• Finding and winning clients: Using Copilot to craft outreach, qualify leads, and personalize follow-ups at scale.
• Delivering professional work: Reports, presentations, analyses — in a fraction of the usual time.
• Running your business: Invoicing, project tracking, client communication — the M365 use cases most freelancers don’t know they’re missing.
• Building your online presence: LinkedIn content, blogging, personal branding — with AI as an amplifier, not a ghostwriter.
• Staying ahead: How to use AI as a continuous learning partner rather than a shortcut.

🌍 Who it’s for

Independent consultants, trainers, coaches, freelance developers, project managers — anyone running a solo professional practice who wants to understand what Microsoft Copilot can genuinely do for them, beyond the marketing slides.

The book is written in French, but the use cases and frameworks apply regardless of where you work.

📲 Available now

The ebook launched last week and is already in readers’ hands. You can find the download link in my LinkedIn bio and on this blog.

As for the print version — today’s proof copy needs a careful read-through before I confirm the final layout. If all looks good, printed copies will be available very soon.

I’ll share the exact date as soon as it’s confirmed. Watch this space.
