Astrid loves writing stories combining fantasy and mystery. Her favorite stories are centered around flawed main characters who find magic in the mundane. 

 

Born and raised in France, Astrid obtained a BA in Film Theory and another one in Modern Literature from her hometown university (Lyon II), before moving to London where she got a Masters in Filmmaking from the London Film School. 

 

Astrid started her career as a creative executive in Los Angeles for blackpills, a digital media studio. There, she was able to channel her passion for young-adult content by developing a slate of shows (Bonding, Netflix) with partners like Anonymous Content, Pulse Films, Adaptive Studios. Astrid was then hired as the head of development of a French/ American production company, in order to tell multicultural stories for a global audience, like The Chef in a Truck (Netflix/ Wild Bunch). 

​

Now, Astrid splits her time between writing scripts and novels. She’s written romantasy novels for companies like Tapas Media (The Demon King’s Interpreter) and Webtoon, and most recently worked as an Associate Writer for Disney Junior’s Firebuds.

She’s also developing her own projects, like Ambrosantia, a YA fantasy series which was optioned by Newen Studios. 

​

When not writing, Astrid spends her time riding horses and motorcycles.
