Anne-Laure Bondoux was born in 1971, in the outskirts of Paris. Whilst studying for a degree in modern literature, she set up writing workshops for children with learning difficulties, which were awarded a national prize in 1995, from the Fondation de France.
In September 1996 she started work at Bayard Press to work on a fiction magazine for 9-12 year olds. She left in 2000 to pursue her writing career, and won the Prix Sorciere (also won by Celia Rees).
