About Virginie

15 years ago, I decided to stop reserving writing for my hobbies and make it my profession. I trained as apublic writerand created my sole proprietorship in 2015. I worked for several months as a freelancer with an SEO agency for whom I regularly wrote articles on various topics (travel, real estate, health...).<br/><br/>In July 2019, I was selected from nearly 100 candidates to become aliterary coachfor Rocambole, a literary series application that became Doors, then was acquired by Vivlio in 2023. Over these 4 years, I became aneditor(in addition to editorial corrections, I was given the opportunity to select manuscripts for publication) andhead of the children's departmentshortly after its creation (selection and correction of stories to be published, creation of universes in partnership with authors).<br/><br/>Also an **author**, I had the pleasure of seeing 2 series published on the application, as well as a children's story. I also self-published a novel and a children's book illustrated and calligraphed (funded on Ulule).<br/><br/>In 2023, I worked for nearly 2 years for a communication agency as a **web writer**. My mission consisted mainly of writing content (articles of 500 words and articles of 1000 words and more) for home service agency blogs.<br/><br/>Writing is also at the center of my hobbies, including regular practice of text-based role-playing games.<br/><br/>Fond of creative and playful writing, I have always put my writing skills and abilities at the service of those who need them and I lead writing workshops based on role-playing and writing constraints (OULIPO).
