Victoria's Monday adventures

 

 

AUTHOR:

Sylvie Marcoux worked for several years in the printing industry, first as a computer graphic designer and then as production manager. In 2002, she published her first novel for young people and won the Prix Abitibi-Consolidated literary prize for children's books. In June 2004, Sylvie left printing to join the team at the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean book fair, where she acted as entertainment coordinator and in 2009 became General Manager. Les Lundis de Victoria was also finalist from Abitibi-Bowater, in September 2008.

Since her first children's novel was released, she has made regular visits to schools and taken part in book fairs. This allows her to meet a lot of interesting people and-who knows?-find inspiration for more of the stories she loves to tell.
