Born in Montreal in the previous millennium, Philippe Collard studied French and Quebec literature at McGill University. 

After publishing a non-fiction story, a short story and a novel, he produced two literary podcasts: Chez l'Éditeur and Faut bien commencer quelque part, as well as the pilot for Cinq livres de trop.

Passionate about writing and reading, Philippe has made his living for over a quarter of a century working in the field of communications applied to various spheres of activity that fascinate him, such as television, radio, film, digital media, podcasts, newspapers, publishing, design and architecture.
