Les Éditions J.A.M

Jason Paquet-Garceau

Founder of the house

Jason Paquet-Garceau writes from what time does not erase. His work connects memory, intimate experience, and the desire to transform pain into precise and human language.

His place within Les Éditions J.A.M

Jason is the founder and originating voice of the house. The publisher begins from a real lived story, a duty of remembrance, and a very clear desire: to turn fracture into a transmissible legacy.

Role
Founder of Les Éditions J.A.M and author of the first title in the catalog.

Turning point
The 1996 Saguenay flood, in which he lost his brother and sister at the age of five.

Vision
A publisher built to carry a legacy while opening space for other inhabited voices.

Path

Marked from childhood by a collective tragedy that became a family wound, Jason grew up with absence, silence, and the need to understand. His writing was built in that space: to speak what remains, to name what was lost, and to give back a place to those whom history could have reduced to a simple archive.

What runs through his writing

Memory
Preserving faces, bonds, and the human truth behind events.

Resilience
Exploring reconstruction without erasing violence, grief, or fragility.

Light within chaos
Searching for what still allows us to love, transmit, and move forward through fracture.

What he opens through the house

Entre Chaos et Lumière opens the catalog, but the house is not meant to remain limited to one book or one voice. Jason sets its first direction: publishing texts driven by real necessity, human density, and a language that endures.
