1972
: Eric Marty was born with two predictions attached to his incubator
: one good and one bad. The good prediction was that he would become
a writer. The bad prediction was that he would write his first manuscript
during the rise of multinational companies who couldnt care
less about authors as long as they can sell paper printed with ink.
Books, you may reply. Perhaps, but not Literature.
1972 - 1998 : Nothing, or hardly anything.
1999 : Eric Marty decides to take the bull by the horns and
follow his destiny. In January he creates a structure named Les Ateliers
de Production de LEtoile (3, rue de lEtoile in Toulouse,
France). In February he publishes his first book, by his own means,
A Demain sur la Plage. In August, after trying various manuscripts
on for size, appears Rose Carabosse, his second book, with this time
the participation of a « true » publisher. At
the same time, he helps publish two other works, in collaboration
with two authors discovered by chance.
