Roanne Lau


Website


Roanne Lau is a speculative fiction author whose works are informed by her Chinese heritage and her experiences living in Malaysia, Australia, Taiwan, and Japan. She was selected for the Pitch Wars mentorship program in 2021. Her debut novel The Serpent Called Mercy sold at auction in North America, the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth and won the 2025 Aurealis Award—but the accomplishment she remains proudest of is being a finalist in a Lord of the Rings trivia competition when she was nine.

Find her on Instagram, Threads, Bluesky or Twitter (@roannelau), and subscribe to her newsletter (roannelau.substack.com).

※ A note on pronunciation: Roanne Lau rhymes with Joanne wow. Say it cheerfully for maximum effect.
