Writes4WomenThis month's Craft of Writing episode is a chat with Dr Lee Kofman about her new non-fiction release, The Writer Laid Bare. It's part memoir, part a book about writing, and a fabulous insight into a writer's process.
Lee is a Russian born Israeli-Australian author of six books, and an editor of two anthologies. A writing teacher and mentor based in Melbourne, Lee is multi-lingual and has been published in Israel in Hebrew but now writes exclusively in English. She is the author of two memoirs, Imperfect, which was shortlisted for the NIB Literary Award, and The Dangerous Bride. She's also edited two anthologies of personal essays featuring prominent Australian writers, Rebellious Daughters, and Split, both published by Ventura Press.
Lee has published numerous short stories, short creative nonfiction, and has been involved in many literary awards and writing competitions as a judge or assessor, including Varuna Fellowships and the ASA Copyright Agency Award Mentorship Program.
She's participated in many literary events as a panelist, panel moderator, feature speaker and lecturer. Lee was the blogger in residence for Writers Victoria for three years and her blog about writing was a finalist for the Best Australian Blogs in 2014. It was also the origin of her latest release, the writing and reading guide The Writer Laid Bare: Mastering Emotional Honesty in a Writer's Art Craft and Life which is the book we chat about on this podcast.
