Rachel Gilbert

Born in 1988 in Saguenay, Rachel Gilbert still resides there today. A family physician with additional training in emergency medicine, she has been working full-time in the La Baie emergency department since 2015, where she also serves as the teaching coordinator. Alongside her medical career, she pursues her passion for literature — both as the author of the fantasy series The Fayel Sisters and as the literary director of Éditions du Bouclier, a publishing house she cofounded in 2017.

In 2015, she won the Literary Award from the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean Book Fair in the “Youth” category for an early version of the first volume of The Fayel Sisters.
