Antonie

Author Bio: I am Antoine, I am the founder of The Authoring Troupe. It is a campaign I started to show that writing is still an art form that deserves to still be respected and recognized. I currently have just started a YouTube page where I read short stories I have written. I hope to be able to become a full time writer as my channel grows and I hope to be published one day. I write all sorts of genres and styles, I love biblical horror and fantasy horror and I wish to delve deeper into those types of stories as I grow.
