Nathalie Guilbeault writes stories that reach into the quiet corners of the human heart—where trauma lingers, memory haunts, and transformation begins. A former executive coach and human resources specialist, she left the corporate world to pursue what had always moved her most: storytelling that tells the truth.

She is the author of Inhaled, a raw, lyrical psychological thriller about love, loss, and surviving narcissistic abuse; When I Became Never, whose first edition was selected as one of The Seaboard Review of Books' 2025 Best Picks; and Cold Chaos: Stories from a North, which received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews. Set in the stark, beautiful isolation of northern Québec, Cold Chaos was hailed by Kirkus as a "masterwork" whose stories are "heartbreaking and healing" and "will resonate with readers long past their final sentences."

Nathalie's writing has been described as honest, atmospheric, and emotionally fearless. Whether writing fiction that feels like confession or essays that linger like poetry, she is drawn to the emotional landscapes that shape—and sometimes fracture—our lives.

Living in Montréal, Nathalie is the co-founder of The Nelligan Review and its former French section editor. She is currently at work on her next novel.

If you've ever longed to make sense of a difficult love, walk away from the wreckage, or find the words for what you couldn't name, her stories are for you.
