Johanna Zaïre

Published author since 2005, I have written about ten works in various genres, two of which have won awards (2017 and 2021). I have also sold the rights to two of my works to foreign publishers for publication in 2026.

I have managed all aspects of my sole proprietorship since 2013 and have been making a living from my writing since 2018.

As an intuitive writing coach since 2022, I support aspiring or experienced authors in their writing projects. From writing to publication, including proofreading, I offer tailor-made services according to each person's needs (writing, beta reading, rewriting, layout, publication, promotion, etc.).

Self-published since 2013, I put my expertise of over 12 years in the world of publishing and self-publishing at the service of the authors I support and the interns I host for observation internships.

As a communications assistant, my work was very varied. I used my skills and adaptability to serve the communications department:

This experience also allowed me to refine my communication for my independent author activities, which I was already doing in parallel.

Hired as a receptionist, I contributed to tasks beyond my basic job description, which I found too limited. The position was scheduled to be eliminated as it was partly replaced by technology, so I didn't have much work to do (very few incoming calls and few clients to welcome, as they were directly met by their contacts with whom they had appointments).

Preferring to adapt rather than be bored, I asked to help departments that needed it.

I therefore worked for most of the departments present at the head office, performing various tasks:

This adaptability allowed me to subsequently obtain a position as a communications assistant at Umicore, after the receptionist position was eliminated.
