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 editing their debut novel, Syndrome, an urban paranormal work that centers queer characters and explores mental health topics. While there is a long way to go, early readers have likened it to Clive Barker's Cabal and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
​
When not writing, Lee cares for their cat Aziraphale and collects tattoos and vintage oddities. They always welcome the chance to collaborate with other creatives, whatever their chosen medium.
