Louise Anne Bouchard (born 23 May 1955 in Montreal, Quebec) is a writer, of Canadian and Swiss citizenship.

Youth and literary beginnings

Louise Anne Bouchard began writing at the age of twelve.

First a photographer by training, (for three years she was a freelance fashion photographer) she studied literature at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her meeting with her professor of foreign literature, Eva Le Grand, was decisive in her beginnings as a writer. She paid tribute to her in Montréal privé, éditions Jacques Lanctôt, (2003).

The writer decided to take a sabbatical year to write her first novel, Cette fois, Jeanne... VLB éditeur (1987) which received a favorable reception of the Quebec press. She was then recruited to work on screenwriting, short films and a TV movie. The Prix de la Relève 16/26 for the screenwriting of Alice au Pays des Merguez, (1990) gave her access to several television projects as a screenwriter.

She has been living in Switzerland since 1991.

A native French speaker, Louise Anne Bouchard speaks also English, German and Italian.

gollark: Another thing I thought would be neat is some limited scripting support, or at least the ability to say "include the content of this page here" or "show all pages matching this query". But that would be very hard.
