Myriam Lacroix

Last updated

Myriam Lacroix is a Canadian writer whose debut novel How It Works Out was a shortlisted finalist for the 2025 Amazon.ca First Novel Award. [1]

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, to study creative writing at the University of British Columbia. [2] While at UBC she came out as queer. [2]

She has stated that while she grew up as a francophone and writes in French professionally, she learned English by reading anglophone literature and thus writes creatively in English as English literature has been a stronger influence on her creative voice. [2] How It Works Out, published in 2024, is a collection of linked stories inspired by her own first same-sex relationship, with each chapter of the book taking place in a different timeline within a multiverse.
