Lee Lai writes graphic novels that blur confession and formal beauty. Born in Australia in 1993, she moved to Canada in 2016 and published her debut *Stone Fruit*, which earned a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree nod in 2021.

A Capricorn with a life-path number of 6, she channels empathy and responsibility into every panel.
★ FEATURE
Biography
Lee Lai is an Australian-Canadian cartoonist and writer known for graphic novels that foreground intimacy and formal innovation. Born on January 1, 1993, Lai spent her early years in Australia before relocating to Canada in 2016. Her debut graphic novel *Stone Fruit* established her voice immediately—the work was named an honoree of the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 award in 2021 and became a finalist for several major prizes in both the US and Australia. In 2025, she released *Cannon*, a work that achieved a watershed moment for the form: in May 2026, it became the first graphic novel ever to win the Stella Prize, and Lai became the first trans and non-binary person to claim the award. As a screenwriter and cartoonist, Lai works across narrative forms—comics, graphic novels, and visual storytelling—to explore queer intimacy and family. Astrologically a Capricorn born under the sign's earthy discipline, she carries a life-path number of 6, which in numerology suggests a person drawn to nurture, balance, and healing through creative work. Her dual citizenship and bicultural anchor in Australia and Canada inform the emotional geography of her writing.
