Nancy Lee grew up in Berea, Ohio. Of mixed Korean, Japanese, and German heritage, she has lived in Tokyo and Seoul (where she taught English composition at Ewha Women's University), and now makes her home in Seattle, Washington. She received a B.A. in English and the James A. Veech Prize for distinguished imaginative writing from Yale, and an M.A. in English and the James W.

A short story she wrote while an undergraduate received an Honorable Mention in the Mademoiselle magazine College Fiction writing competition. Her short stories have been published in the Seal Press anthology Gathering Ground: New Writing and Art By Northwest Women of Color and the New Rivers Press anthology Two Worlds Walking, and she was commissioned by the Metro Artists' Regional Transit project to write a short story which was published in Modern Odysseys: Heroic Journeys We Make Every Day. Also an artist, Nancy Lee received a Writer/Artist Fellowship to the Multicultural Children's Literature Institute at the Cooperative Children's Book Center and hopes to illustrate (and maybe even write) a children's book.
