Jennifer DeLeskie

Jennifer DeLeskie est écrivaine, avocate et éditrice. Son travail explore les thèmes de la responsabilité, de la mémoire et du courage de dire la vérité. À travers des récits ancrés dans le lieu et la résistance, son écriture interroge ce que nous nous devons les un·e·s aux autres lorsque les systèmes s’effondrent et que le silence devient une question de survie. Son premier roman young adult, Everclear, suit une jeune fille qui s’aventure dans le nord du Québec pour découvrir les vérités dangereuses que de puissantes forces ont tenté d’effacer.

Jennifer DeLeskie (she/her) lives in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal) with her husband and three children. A lawyer and member of the Barreau du Québec, she has, in past lives, worked in Chiapas with a collective of organic coffee farmers, facilitated at the Cuernavaca Centre for Intercultural Dialog on Development, and participated in archaeological fieldwork in Nunavut, Belize, France, and on the Saugeen Peninsula. Her work has appeared in Prairie Fire, The Globe and Mail, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, The Colored Lens, and elsewhere, and has been recognized by the Carter V. Cooper Short Fiction Award, the Fish Short Story Prize, and as Prairie Fire's nominee for the Journey Prize. She edits Quist, the Quebec Writers' Federation youth literary journal. Her stories often grapple with witness, complicity, and transformation. Her debut novel, Everclear, is a YA dystopian for readers of The Marrow Thieves, a story about survival, resistance, and reclaiming what was stolen.
