Nadia Renaud is a Montreal-born journalist and translator who spent a decade covering maritime economies and island communities across the Lesser Antilles. After earning an M.A. in communications from Université Laval, she relocated to Aruba in 2018 and divides her time between Oranjestad and Quebec City. Her reportage has appeared in regional magazines and francophone cultural journals, noted for its close attention to shoreline ecologies and working harbors.
Renaud began publishing fiction with the short story collection Harbor Lights in 2020, which was shortlisted for the Portside Fiction Prize. She writes in both English and French, blending sunlit noir atmospheres with investigative detail. When away from the desk, she volunteers with a sea turtle rescue group and teaches community workshops on narrative journalism.
