Semifinalist, Josephson Entertainment + Roadmap Writers Short Story Competition
BIO
A Korean-born Canadian residing in Australia, but really a travelling gypsy, who hides being displaced with the guise of getting expensive pieces of paper from around the world to put on a wall. SUNG-JU SUYA LEE came to Melbourne to do a PhD in script research, and stayed for true love, which led to finally getting married at 55. Just a silly and foolish soul who writes in a menagerie of genres, stories that explode inside a skull that have to be whacked into shape. She writes about suckers down on their luck or their lot in life, and how they crawl back into the light (or not). Being touched by the supernatural influences Suya's trauma stories as she lives in the space where she surrenders to the serendipity and spookiness of life.
