Jacques Carrié

Jacques Carrié: “I’m an award-winning writer. I received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University and furthered my education in literature and creative writing at Columbia University. Method Acting came next, under Lee Strasberg and Peggie Feury, followed by seven years of stage performances on the road, which led to my new passion–short story and novel writing. My first novel, The Bridge of Movie Producer Louis King, was nominated for the Grand Literary Prize, 6th International Festival of Humor and Satire, in Bulgaria. One of my stories, published in the Texas A&M Engineer, was voted “Best of the Year.”

I grew up in the south of France, went to school in Toulouse, and lived several years in Venezuela (including the rain forests) before flying to New York City for good and settling down in Los Angeles. My works have appeared in The Texas A&M Engineer, Prop Magazine, Chicago Literati, Pennsylvania Literary Journal, The Literati Quarterly, The Literary Nest, The Houston Chronicle, El Mundo, El Nacional, and other places. Octiblast and Papelitos—my most recent novels—can be found on Amazon (www.amazon.com/author/jacquescarrie). Octiblast was a strong competitor for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and 2013 William Saroyan International Prize.”
