Around the dates of the Salon du Livre de Paris, which this year took place from March 16-19, Anna Soler-Pont visited some French publishers and authors represented by the Pontas Agency, such as Luce Michel, Christophe Carlier and Fabienne Jacob, in the photo below from left to right, next to Anna, at Café des Éditeurs.
Lola, Sérieux by Luce Michel just came out at Pygmalion and the first reviews and comments in blogs are appearing. During the opening of the Salon, Marc de Gouvenain discussed with Frédérique Polet and Romane Lafore from Presses de la Cité about Carmen Domingo’s forthcoming novel Gala-Dalí.
François Laurent (below, left) had just arrived from a press trip to Ribeira Sacra (Galicia, North West of Spain) for the latest novel by Dolores Redondo, in French Tout cela je te le donnerai, to be published at Fleuve Éditions in April. Claire Do Sêrro (below, right) is the new literary director at NIL and she will be publishing The Nine-Chambered Heart by Janice Pariat in 2019.
