Born under the sun of southern Italy, I grew up surrounded by books in the family bookstore, developing a great passion for reading from an early age. My studies and my love for foreign languages and literature took me from Rome to London, where I had the incredible opportunity to work at the famous Foyles bookstore, a landmark for book lovers. This enriching experience marked the beginning of my international professional career. I then pursued a specialised master's degree in English studies at Humboldt University in Berlin and then back to London for an internship at the prestigious Tate Gallery in the copyright department. I settled in France in 2001, where I not only learned the language (my fourth!) but also worked passionately as a bookstore manager for ten years.In 2014, I had the chance to discover the fascinating world of copyright, contracts, and negotiations by joining a French literary agency. This new adventure allowed me to combine my language skills and my passion for literature, and since then, I have worked enthusiastically to promote the works of many talented authors. From Frankfurt to Tokyo, passing through Seoul, London, Bologna, Turin, and Guadalajara, I have travelled to book fairs around the world, until I founded my own agency in 2019.
My job is my passion, and I am grateful every day to be able to share it with enthusiastic publishers around the world.
