Lucy Sussex was born in 1957, in Christchurch, New Zealand. She has lived in New Zealand, France, the United Kingdom and Australia, where she settled in 1971, and has spent the majority of her time since.
Lucy has a degree in English and a Master of Arts in Librarianship from Monash University, and also a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Wales.
Lucy has been writing since the age of eleven. In 1979 she attended a Sydney-based Science Fiction Writers' Workshop, conducted by Terry Carr and George Turner and soon after published her first short stories locally and overseas. Lucy Sussex's fiction has spanned a range of genres, including Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Crime and Detective fiction and been aimed at the children's, young adult and adult fiction markets. She has published six novels - the first appearing in 1995 - and over 30 short stories, which have been collected across three anthologies. Her first story to gain notice might be 1985's "The Lipton Village Society", which involved the creation of an alternate world.
Sussex works as a freelance editor and researcher and has published literary criticism and journalism. She is a Fellow at the Federation University Ballarat, and La Trobe University. She writes reviews - until 2013 for The Age newspaper on a weekly basis, which involved reading 5-6 books per week. She has edited several anthologies, including "She's Fantastical", the first collection of Australian women's speculative fiction, magical realism and fantasy to be published in that country. Moreover, Sussex has participated in numerous conventions and conferences, either as guest or panelist.
Lucy has for many years maintained an active interest in encouraging emerging writers in the speculative fiction field, conducting a number of workshops, including at Aussiecon III, the 1999 World SF Convention in Melbourne. She was a teacher at Clarion West, in Seattle in 2001 and at Clarion South in 2004. She has regularly conducted workshops in her home city of Melbourne, of varying lengths and themes, most recently facilitating a Science Fiction Novel writing challenge in 2008 - 2009.
Sussex is strongly feminist.
