About me
Marc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. After those years, 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. Signed up by a French publisher, 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.
Since then, he has written 25 novels. His work has been translated into 50 languages and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
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.
