edit data

I’m a writer from Melbourne, Australia.
I grew up on the Central Coast of New South Wales and studied creative writing at the University of Wollongong. I attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop in 2014.

You can find my short stories at Interzone, Interfictions, Terraform, Apex, The Sockdolager, Aurealis, Mad Scientist Journal, Slink Chunk Press, Feminartsy and the In Your Face, Hear Me Roar, Kindred, Best Summer Stories, and Someone Like You anthologies.

My debut novella, Welcome To Orphancorp, won Seizure’s Viva La Novella 3 and the 2016 Victorian Premiers Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction. It was shortlisted for The NSW Premiers Award, an Aurealis Award, and the Norma K Hemming Award.

Quotes by Marlee Jane Ward (?)

“Sometimes here the hurt and the good feelings get all mixed up, Sometimes they become the same thing. And sometimes you gotta feel your way out of the pain in your brain. There are lots of ways to do it.”
― Marlee Jane Ward, Welcome To Orphancorp

“Give it enough time and it will be my whole world. I've been here before, Not here, but here enough.”

“In those black-liquid eyes is a whole history of pain and I guess that this will be just another hurt on top of all the other hurts, but at least this pain will be real. With this kind of pain, the pain that you choose, at least you get to know when it ends. At least it has an end.”
― Marlee Jane Ward, Welcome To Orphancorp
