Marc Levy

Marc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years, after which he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States. Six years later, he co-founded an architecture firm with two friends; the company soon became one of the leading firms in France.

At the age of thirty-seven, Marc wrote a story for the man that his son would grow up to be, called If Only it Were True. His sister, who was a screenwriter at the time and has since turned to directing, encouraged him to send his manuscript to a French publisher, who immediately decided to publish it. Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks) snapped up the film rights to the novel before it was even published. The movie, Just like Heaven, starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, was a number one box office hit in the USA in 2005.

After If Only It Were True, Marc Levy began writing full-time. He has written 25 novels to date. His work has been translated into 50 languages and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. His latest novel, The Symphony of Monsters, was published in France in October 2023.

Several of his novels have been adapted for the screen. His novel All Those Things We Never Said. (Canal Plus/StarzPlay), starring Jean Reno and directed by Miguel Courtois, was broadcast in July 2022.

Le Figaro newspaper commissioned a nationwide poll asking the French to rank their favourite authors: Marc Levy and Victor Hugo were both ranked first place.

Marc currently lives in New York City and he is a dual French-American national.
