Mélissa Verreault

Mélissa Verreault, a talented Canadian writer and translator, hails from the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec. With a passion for storytelling, she has made significant contributions to both literature and academia, serving as a university teacher and vice president in her field.

Her remarkable work in translation earned her the prestigious Governor General's Award for English to French translation in two thousand twenty-two. This accolade was awarded for her exceptional translation of Megan Gail Coles's novel, 'Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club,' titled 'Partie de chasse au petit gibier entre lâches au club de tir du coin' in French.

In addition to her translation achievements, Mélissa was a finalist for the Prix des libraires du Québec in two thousand fifteen for her novel 'L'angoisse du Poisson rouge.' This compelling work was later translated into English in two thousand seventeen under the title 'Behind the Eyes We Meet.'
