Martha takes shape…
January 28, in Montréal, first meeting of the team working on Martha
Present:
Between these two dates, worked like crazy to lay the groundwork for a project that has never been done before:
-Foundation of Éditions Martha
-Creation of a database
-Creation of an Internet site
-Contract for sending the letters
-Purchase of stamps... because I wanted real stamps…beautiful ones! I couldn’t compromise on that!
September 9: Press conference and launch of the Martha subscriptions

Who is Martha?
In May, Swiss tour, on invitation by Payot bookstores
With a stop in Paris
With my indispensable assistant, my sister Louise
In Switzerland, Denise Gagnon read excerpts of my novels—right before I spoke.
Also, in July, my sister Lou celebrated her birthday. Party in the country with all the children.
A festival of chubby babies!
and August 29 – just before unveiling Martha – painful breakup
After 8 years…
November 1,
by the seaside to write Martha
It was completely crazy to announce the project without having written it yet…
But by Christmas, the first year was down on paper.
