Stéfanie Clermont

Stéfanie Clermont (born April 24th, 1988) is a Canadian writer,[1] who published her debut novel Le jeu de la musique in 2017.[2]

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Clermont won a children's poetry contest sponsored by the Ottawa Public Library in 2001, in the ages 12–14 division.[3] After completing high school, she travelled throughout Canada and the United States before settling in Montreal in 2012.[2]

Le jeu de la musique won the Prix de l'Œuvre de la relève from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec[4] and the Prix Adrienne-Choquette[5] in 2018. It was a competing title in the 2018 edition of Le Combat des livres, where it was defended by comedian Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques.[6]

Clermont's son is reported to be an extreme scooter prodigy, having first started tricking before he was 2 years old.
