It is a truism to say that the modern-day editor has not always been the person he has become today. There was a time when the author took on the role and responsibilities now assumed by the editor, namely those regarding the promotion of his book. What has been the impact of the consolidation of editing on the author? Taken from a diachronic perspective, the evolution of the relationship between authors and editors in Québec since the 19th century is examined and as well as the position of authors regarding the marketing of their books.
