Lee Fox

LEE FOX is the author of the hilarious picture book Ella Kazoo Will Not Brush Her Hair, illustrated by Cathy Wilcox (Lothian, 2006).

Ella Kazoo is the first in a series of three, written when Lee was a Professional Writing & Editing student at RMIT, and it's about a girl and her unruly hair:

'Debut author Lee Fox has formed a delightful tale, told in rollicking verse, about a girl who's got what it takes to turn a really bad hair day into a happy situation for all.'
(Gold Coast Kids magazine)

Based on Ella Kazoo, Lee offers two workshops for primary and secondary schools, where students learn about the process of publication, from the first spark of an idea to the finished product.

‘Your high level of engagement fostered enthusiasm and curiosity…students sharing the language of "storyboard, proofs" and the negotiation of production protocol. I highly recommend your presentation to any language or communications class.'
(Jen Taylor, Castlemaine Sec. College)

Lee Fox's writing career began in 2000, with several articles for The Age. Her first novel for young adults will be published in 2008.

Prior to becoming a writer, Lee was a production assistant for a commercial radio station, a stripper's assistant, a Mormon, a cook in a childcare centre and the store manager on a remote Aboriginal community – and she has five children.

Lee lives in Central Victoria with her husband and youngest daughter.
