Biography

Aurélie Resch Aurlie Resch Wikipedia

Resch has written eight books and has written in many collectives. Her work on exile and the quest of identity led her to be a finalist in 2002 and 2005 to the CBC Readers Awards and the Christine Dumitriu Van Saanen Literary Award. In 2011, her book for children "Les voleurs de couleurs" was nominated to the Trillium Book Award, as was her first compilation of poetry "Cendres de lune" in 2012.

Resch is also a travel writer. Her credits include L'Express de Toronto, the Toronto Star, Metro News Canada, TravelLife magazine, Dabble, Dreamscapes Travel and Lifetime Magazine, La Presse, Châtelaine and MSN. She also contributes to literary and cultural magazines in Quebec and Ontario, Canada, and directs films for French Canadian television. Resch gives writing workshops in French and bilingual schools and universities, and is a guest speaker in literary festivals and events in Canada and in France. This body of work to promote French culture and literature was acknowledged in 2008 when Resch was nominated to the Trophées du [Sénat Français].

Since 2005, Resch has been working on literary juries for Canadian Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Ontario Media Development Corporation and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
