Comment: Hi there and thanks for creating this article. Please take a look at WP:NACADEMIC for the inclusion criteria for academics, and see if the article can show that that the subject meets those criteria. Currently, additional sources are needed to demonstrate this; this might include reviews of her books. I would focus less on her graduate studies and more on what she has done during her career.In-line citations are needed for all claims; I've tagged some places in the first paragraph where additional sources are needed. If you can't find a source, you can remove that statement.In addition, the tone of the article needs reworking as it is overly promotional/editorialized. For example, phrases like "formative years", "had the pleasure of", and "precious documents" aren't quite encyclopedic in tone. You can take a look at the link above for more info about this.

Marie-Claude Felton (born February 11, 1981)[citation needed] is a French-Canadian writer, teacher and historian who specializes in 18th-century France. Her book, Maîtres de leurs ouvrages: l’édition à compte d’auteur à Paris au XVIIIe siècle, made significant contributions to the understanding of publishing practices and the myriad issues relating to changing conceptions of literary property.[1]
Education
Felton was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[citation needed] She completed her B.A. (Honours) in History at McGill University.[citation needed] It is during these formative years that she acquired a comprehensive background in European and Canadian history and worked in different museums and historical sites as a guide such as Parks Canada. The academic adventure then took her to Quebec City, where she enrolled in a Masters in History. During her two years at Laval University, she explored the world of justice, of notaries and of barristers in the South of France in the 17th century. In order to conduct this research, she had the pleasure of spending a few months in Aix-en-Provence, France, where she studied hundreds of pages of archives. It’s in these precious documents that she discovered a fascinating world and uncovered the story of the Longis family over a hundred years.[tone]
Thanks to generous scholarships, she pursued her ambition of becoming a historian by moving to Paris, France in order to start her doctoral studies with world-renown historian Roger Chartier. For three years, she was lucky to enjoy Parisian life, its cafés, museums, libraries and delve into the wonderful world of rare books, the history of publishing, newspapers, copyright and of censorship in the Enlightenment. Back to Montreal after this exciting adventure, she wrote her dissertation of Pierre-Joseph-François Luneau de Boisjermain and self-publishing in Paris in the 18th century.
The success of her doctoral studies allowed her to have the privilege of pursuing her academic path to Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts) as a postdoctoral fellow. For two years, she acquired more research experience (with research trips to Paris and Germany) as well as teaching experience (Harvard Summer School).
Awarded the prestigious Banting Fellowship[2] , she came back to Montreal where she continued her research as a postdoc at McGill University. For another two years, she not only organized and took part in several conferences around the world, but also published her dissertation[3] and other books[4], worked in research groups and co-founded the Montreal Book History Group[5]. It’s also during this time that she was awarded a fellowship at the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford (UK) in order to work with their collection of rare books [6]
