Stéphane Carlier

Après une hypokhâgne et une maîtrise d'Histoire à Paris IV, il est pigiste dans diverses rédactions parisiennes (France-Soir, Gala, L'Express). En 1996, il entre au ministère des Affaires étrangères qui l'affecte aux Etats-Unis, où il passe dix ans (New York, Los Angeles, Palm Springs) puis en Inde, à New Delhi. A son retour, il passe deux ans à Lisbonne avant de s'installer en Bourgogne, où il réside aujourd'hui.

Afin que son patronyme n'influence pas les éditeurs, il signe son premier roman « Antoine Jasper » et l'envoie par la poste, depuis Los Angeles, où il vit à l'époque. Sylvie Genevoix, alors éditrice chez Albin Michel, est la première à le contacter.

Son troisième roman Les gens sont les gens, paru en 2013, est sélectionné pour le P

Olivier Bourdeaut

Olivier Bourdeaut est né au bord de l’Océan Atlantique en 1980. L’Education Nationale, refusant de comprendre ce qu’il voulait apprendre, lui rendit très vite sa liberté. Dès lors, grâce à l’absence lumineuse de télévision chez lui, il put lire beaucoup et rêvasser énormément.
Durant dix ans il travailla dans l’immobilier allant de fiascos en échecs avec un enthousiasme constant. Puis, pendant deux ans, il devint responsable d’une agence d’experts en plomb, responsable d’une assistante plus diplômée que lui et responsable de chasseurs de termites, mais les insectes achevèrent de ronger sa responsabilité. Il fut aussi ouvreur de robinets dans un hôpital, factotum dans une maison d’édition de livres scolaires – un comble – et cueilleur de fleu

André Kertész

André Kertész (French: [kɛʁtɛs]; 2 July 1894 – 28 September 1985), born Kertész Andor, was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition. Kertész never felt that he had gained the worldwide recognition he deserved. Today he is considered one of the seminal figures of photojournalism.[

Nancy Atherton

Nancy Atherton is not a white-haired Englishwoman with a softly wrinkled face, a wry smile, and wise gray eyes, nor does she live in a thatched cottage behind a babbling brook in a tranquil, rural corner of the Cotswolds.

She has never taken tea with a vicar (although she drank an Orange Squash with one once) and she doesn't plan to continue writing after her allotted time on earth (though such plans are, as well all know, subject to change without notice).

If you prefer to envision her as an Englishwoman, she urges you to cling to your illusions at all costs -- she treasures carefully nurtured illusions. She also urges you to read no further.

Because the truth is that Nancy Atherton is a dark-haired American with a generally unwrinkled face,

Je suis née le en 1977 près de Bordeaux, où je vis toujours.

J’ai commencé à dévorer les livres dès que j’ai su lire. La Bibliothèque rose, la Bibliothèque verte, puis de nombreux romans qui me faisaient vivre mille et une vies.

J’avais huit ans quand j’ai écrit mon premier roman sur un cahier de brouillon vert au dos duquel figuraient des tables de multiplication. Il parlait d’amour, de mer et d’un soleil qui mettait trente pages à se coucher.

En sixième, je répondais « Écrire des livres » à la question « Que voulez-vous faire plus tard ? » sur les fiches que l’on remplissait en début d’année. Pas à chaque fois, parce qu’il m’est aussi arrivé de vouloir être styliste. Ça n’a pas duré longtemps : tout le monde v

Anna Stuart

I wanted to be an author from the moment I could pick up a pen and was writing boarding-school novels by the age of nine. I made the early mistake of thinking I ought to get a ‘proper job’ and went into Factory Planning – a career that gave me some wonderful experiences, amazing friends and even a fantastic husband, but didn’t offer much creative scope. So when I stopped to have children I took the chance to start the ‘improper job’ of writing. During the baby years I wrote in the brief gaps provided by sleeps, playschools and obliging grandparents, publishing short stories and serials in all the women’s magazines.

But my ultimate aim was to write longer fiction and several years ago I published a series of successful historical novels under

Elizabeth Sumner Wafler

I believe in second chances. The theme has surprised me by prancing into every one of my books. So many people live out their lives without getting what they want or what they need. Instead, they settle for less, subsisting instead of making things happen.

As you get to know my characters, I want you imbued with a sense of hope and possibility--with the magic that can happen when someone first pokes a toe out of her comfort zone and decides to make things happen. I want you to relate to my discretely individual characters who, like most women, desire and deserve true love; authentic relationships, whether they be friends, mothers, grown children, lovers, or partners; and work that is meaningful. I want you to care about the character's emoti

Writing has always been Jean-Philippe’s way of expressing himself. He started writing poems when he was seven, then moved on to short stories as a teen. He wrote his first novel when he was 19. One book that had a profound effect on him as a child was Alice in Wonderland: he tended to identify with the White Rabbit…
