About Me
Lui Sit started writing plays at primary school. She then moved onto bad poetry and fanatical journalling which gave way in later years to academic writing, of which she is not a fan. She made a deal with herself that once she’d finished with academia, she would write something else. So far, she’s tried children’s fiction, non fiction, memoir and short stories. One day, she’d like to write a play again.
