He then earned a creative residency at the Villa Médicis in 1984, and has since worked in literature, as a writer, translator, performer or publisher.
François Bon has written essays, novels, radio programs, poetry as well as theatre or children's literature.
His interest in literary creation on and for the Internet led him to work on a project about digital photography, tumulte.net, a website that turned into a book, Tumulte, published in 2006.
He launched an ebook publishing company, Publie.net and has released an essay about the changing nature of the book in the Information Age, Après le livre (2011).
In 2016, Bon created his own publishing house, Tiers Livre Editeurs, which complements his blog's output.
