Julien Millanvoye

I studied literature in Blaise Pascal University (Clermont-Ferrand) and, after my graduation, moved to Paris in 2001. There, I worked for various publishing houses (Le Cherche Midi, Hachette Littératures, Flammarion).

I pretty fast got involved in the press, starting as the coordinator of Blast Magazine, from 2002 to 2005, where I ended as the editor-in-chief.

In doing so, I had the unique chance to work under the supervision of Michel Mallard, at the time artistic director of both L'Officiel de la Mode and the Arts of Fashion Hyeres Festival, and Frédéric Joignot, former editor of Actuel, co-founder of Psychologies and Le Monde Magazine.

I then started my freelancer career, working for various kind of media (magazines, reviews, radios, web tv…). Some of my most prestigious clients include Radio Nova, Le Monde Magazine, We Demain and Ravages.

In 2007, I published my first novel, "Réveillez-moi", ("Wake me up", éditions Hachette Littératures). My second book, a narrative nonfiction work for which I explored the world of craftmanship and "savoir-faire", called "J'ai un métier !", was released in March 2013 by L'École des Loisirs/Globe.

I am currently the editor-in-chief of lui.fr, the website of Lui Magazine, which was created in 1963 by Daniel Filipacchi and relaunched in Septembre 2013 by French novelist Frédéric Beigbeder.

On my spare time, I am also seeking new opportunities to develop my own writing and translating agency, always willing to explore the challenges set by this thrilling digital age.
