Elle profite dun congé parental en 2005 pour se lancer dans lécriture. Elle désire écrire quelque chose qui soit entre le conte et le roman. Puisant dans les légendes de sa tradition familiale espagnole, elle brode Le coeur cousu à partir des histoires que sa grand-mère lui racontait. Ce premier roman est un succès et Carole Martinez reçoit le prix Renaudot des lycéens en 2007, le prix Ouest-France Étonnants Voyageurs 2007 (jury de jeunes lecteurs), Prix Ulysse de la première oeuvre 2007. Au début de lannée 2011, elle publie un roman policier pour la jeunesse, L Oeil du témoin, après un premier essai publié à la fin des années 90, Le Cri du livre. Lors de la rentrée littéraire en septembre de la même année, Du domaine des murmures vient combler lattente de ses lecteurs adultes. Un roman pour lequel elle reçoit le Goncourt des lycéens deux mois plus tard.
