ABOUT VICTORINE LAMOTHE

Words and stories inspire me—whether I’m writing brand messaging, editing a book, or shaping a line of poetry.I\'m a senior-level writer/copywriter, editor, and communications consultant (native American English) with 15+ years of experience spanning publishing, marketing, and cultural interpretation. My work merges editorial rigor with a passion for connecting people to stories via print, digital media, and immersive, real-world experiences.Born and raised in New Orleans, I studied French and Francophone Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University, and began my career in New York’s publishing world. Over the years, I’ve edited bestselling and award-winning titles in food, lifestyle, fashion, and design and collaborated with global luxury brands, Big Five publishers, French cultural institutions, and creative entrepreneurs. This experience honed not only my editorial eye but also my reverence for craftsmanship, heritage, and the nuances of language.Now based in Paris, I bring a literary sensibility to every project, working across languages and cultures to shape content that resonates. Alongside my writing and consulting, I lead culinary and cultural tours, curating experiences that showcase France’s rich heritage in food, traditions, and history. This hands-on work deepens my approach to storytelling—grounded in human connection, sensory detail, and cross-cultural understanding.Bilingual in French and English, I’m passionate about projects that bridge cultures and foster meaningful exchange. I also write fiction and poetry, and remain active in Paris’s anglophone literary community.I live in a hilly corner of Paris with two cats.
