Passionné d'imaginaire

Profile

My name is Antoine, and I have a master's degree in Book and Publishing Professions from the University of Angers. I am currently seeking employment in the book industry to launch my professional career.

Graduate in publishing & aspiring bookseller

An avid reader since childhood, I've always had a passion for the imaginary in all its forms. Whether through literature, cinema, video games or any other genre, fiction and imagination are essential to me. So I decided to pursue a career in the world of books and seek work in a bookshop or publishing house in order to be part of this environment that I love so much.

Date of birth: July 31, 2001

My career goal: Today, I want to work in a bookshop. More than anything, I want to work surrounded by books. I have solid knowledge and a long history as a reader of fiction, novels and comics, and that is the direction I want to take. I am also very interested in publishing and book production and, even if it's not my first option, I hope to be able to explore this sector one day.
