Stanislas Dupleix.

Born in 1976 and a graduate of ESSEC Business School, Stanislas Dupleix is married with three children. After ten years working in marketing, he founded Plume d’Éléphant, a publishing house specializing in biographies, in 2010. This project was born out of a personal journey: after becoming a father, he realized the importance of passing on knowledge and regretted that the life stories of his elders had never been recorded. He then wrote his grandmother’s memoirs and imagined a modern service, based on a network of private biographers, to enable everyone to have their story written.

Driven by a love of words, meeting people, and storytelling, Stanislas Dupleix has been collecting and writing about the lives of men and women from very diverse backgrounds for over ten years, revealing the many layers of our society through their stories. Passionate about heritage, history, cinema, travel, and poetry, he cultivates the art of chameleonism in order to capture the essence of each life story as accurately as possible.

He is the author of Villaines Sketchbook, published by Éditions du Pacifique.
