Éditions Jean-Claude Lattès

Founded in 1968, Editions JC Lattès is open to all aspects of contemporary culture and has gradually emerged as a top-ranking publisher of general fiction and non-fiction in France.

French authors, from Nina Bouraoui, Sandrine Collette, Éric Giacometti and Jacques Ravenne, to Adèle Bréau, Olivia Ruiz and Aurélie Valognes have gained a vast readership at home and abroad. International authors Dan Brown, E.L. James, John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, and John Boyne, among others, have been featured on bestseller lists, as have Edouard Philippe, Gilles Boyer, Bertrand Périer or Britney Spears in the non-fiction category. The launching in 2020 of a new label, La Grenade, dedicated to promoting new voices in diversity, has fostered the revelation as novelist of grocery store clerk Djamel Cherigui as well as rapper Oxmo Puccino.

In 2023 the new non-fiction label “Nouveaux Jours” saw the immediate successes of Samah Karaki with Le talent est une fiction and Rose Lamy with En bons pères de famille. The Bestial collection welcomes writers such as Ovidie and Susie Morgenstern for a self-portrait of the author through their favourite animal. The new Memento collection offers essays in the form of questions on commemorations by expert and passionate historians.
