Louise Anne Bouchard (born 23 May 1955 in Montreal, Quebec) is a writer, of Canadian and Swiss citizenship.
Youth and literary beginnings
Louise Anne Bouchard began writing at the age of twelve.
First a photographer by training, (for three years she was a freelance fashion photographer) she studied literature at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her meeting with her professor of foreign literature, Eva Le Grand, was decisive in her beginnings as a writer. She paid tribute to her in Montréal privé, éditions Jacques Lanctôt, (2003).
The writer decided to take a sabbatical year to write her first novel, Cette fois, Jeanne... VLB éditeur (1987) which received a favorable reception of the Quebec press. She was then recruited to work on screenwriting, short films and a TV movie. The Prix de la Relève 16/26 for the screenwriting of Alice au Pays des Merguez, (1990) gave her access to several television projects as a screenwriter.
She has been living in Switzerland since 1991.
A native French speaker, Louise Anne Bouchard speaks also English, German and Italian.
