LEE DOBECKA
multiform writer
Intro
I've always found joy in naming things-my sister's Pokémon, my friend's sculpture pieces, bands both actualized and simply spoken of.
I fashioned a new name for myself, and have found comfort in terms like pansexual, demisexual, genderfluid, and transmasculine.
Still, I concede that true power lies in those things that defy a pinning down-those wicked, engulfing, gorgeous things.
As a writer, these nameless things haunt me, but they are only teaching, so I do my best to listen.
About
Lee Dobecka (they/them) is a novelist, poet, and artist holding a B.A. in Creative Writing and a minor in Interdisciplinary Arts from the University of Houston.
Lee's work has been published by Nonbinary Review, coagulation.org, and The Odessa Collective.
Dobecka is currently polishing their poetry collection, Genrequeer: A Mini-Memoir, Remastered.
After that is out in the world, Lee will focus on their debut novel, Syndrome, an urban paranormal work that centers queer characters and explores mental health topics. Early readers have likened Syndrome to Clive Barker's Cabal and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
When not writing, Lee cares for their cat, Zira, and collects tattoos and vintage oddities. They always welcome the chance to collaborate with other creatives, whatever their chosen medium.
