Event Description
Creative nonfiction is a broad and exciting genre that includes many popular sub-genres, such as memoir, personal essay, investigative journalism, crime and travel writing, and much more. In this workshop you will learn about the main genres and the common principles in creative nonfiction writing, such as making the author into a character, writing vividly, developing narrative and incorporating research seamlessly.

Lee’s books in English include a writing and reading guide "The Writer Laid Bare: Mastering emotional honesty in a writer’s art, craft & life" (Ventura Press, 2022) and two memoirs: "Imperfect" (Affirm Press, 2019), which was shortlisted for Nib Literary Award, and "The Dangerous Bride" (Melbourne University Press, 2014). She has also edited two anthologies of personal essays, "Rebellious Daughters" (Ventura Press, 2016) and "Split" (Ventura Press, 2019), which was longlisted for ABIA awards, that feature prominent Australian writers.
