BRI LEE




I’m a writer.

I live and work on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia.


Current Projects



My new novel, Seed, was published by Simon & Schuster Australia in October 2025. My previous books include: Eggshell Skull (2018), Beauty (2019), Who Gets to Be Smart (2021), and The Work (2024).

I teach reading and writing, in-person in Sydney and online.

I am the Founder and Non-Fiction Editor of Australia’s most successful literature Substack. Subscribe to News & Reviews here.

In 2024 I co-founded Bibliocarta — a boutique company offering travel for readers and a library for travellers.

My PhD is about Australia’s new ‘public interest’ defence for defamation law. I hope to complete this later in 2026 and in 2027 will begin work to make my research useful to society. 

Together with the Women’s Justice Network I founded the ‘Freadom Inside’ project that gets books to women incarcerated in NSW. We recently raised $55,000 to run book club programs for those still inside.

I am not on Facebook, Twitter/X, or TikTok. You can find me on Instagram.
