~what I’m working on~

• Prose narrative is my go-to form: fiction much more often than non-.
• I think of myself first and foremost as a novelist (one manuscript, “Tague“, is complete, two others are germinating).
  • That said, my short stories are already out in the world, and an important part of my practice too. And they’re actually short! (not be confused with micro)
  • I’m putting together a first collection, tentatively titled “Sens précoces“. These pieces feature characters who sense or perceive things others don’t.
• Some throughlines in my work:
  • Je m’intéresse à l’intériorité, à la traduction de l’expérience intérieure et de la pensée par l’écrit.
  • I strive to develop coherent narratologies with a strong sense of voice. Mes narrateurs s’expriment avec ferveur, énergie, un élan.
  • My Everest is superposition: playing with the tools and strategies of language in order to express complexity and surpass contradictions.
• To me, literature is an art plastique, where the base material (text) is endlessly shapeable. The work of shaping and reshaping is an exercise in what we CAN (do/think/express/feel/etc.). It’s an empowering craft.

~my skillz~

• As a directrice littéraire and editor, my forte is diagnostics and problem-solving. I have a knack for recognizing where a text is flagging, and coming up with ways to get it out of the mire.
• As an author, my sense of flow is my greatest strength; I cultivate rhythms that usher a reader along to endings that are undeniable.
• You’ll find whatever I do inflected with my sense of humour, silliness, and snark. I like to highlight the absurd in what limits, and bring levity to what feels fatal. I love to laugh and make laugh.
• I also doodle copiously.
• And am a home organization mage.

~whom I hope to hear from~

• People known and unknown
• Non-writing disciplines are really cool:)
