When Isabelle was 9 years old, her parents gave her a red typewriter for her birthday. She began typing away, crafting stories in German and in Luxembourgish, her native language.
Growing up, “writer” seemed like a non-existent job description. Isabelle studied law in France and in the US and got a "proper" job. But she secretly continued to write in the evenings and on weekends.
After her first son was born, she returned to her lifelong passion––writing, and for the first time, she thought about it as a job. Isabelle speaks four languages fluently but for a reason that defies her, English is her preferred language for prose.
Isabelle writes for kids and adults, across genres…picture books, novels, screenplays. A member of the SCBWI, she was a 2017/18 Children's Literature Fellow at Stony Brook University in Southampton, NY.
Isabelle is represented by Silvia Molteni at Peters Fraser + Dunlop in London.
