Who is Rosey Lee?

Rosey Lee writes stories about complicated families and complex friendships, but a happy ending is guaranteed. She is a nominee for a 2025 Georgia Author of the Year Award for The Gardins of Edin, her debut novel. A Gardin Wedding is her second novel. Rosey lives in Atlanta, about an hour away from the fictional town of Edin, Georgia, where her characters live. She grew up on the Westbank of New Orleans and carries the area and her loved ones in her heart when she’s away from them.

As a child, Rosey dreamed of a career in writing, fashion design, and acting. She uses the pen name Rosey Lee as she pursues her passion for writing. Her alter ego is a physician who has dedicated her career to individual and community-based approaches to health equity. Rosey’s essays have appeared in Writer’s Digest, The Nerd Daily, and Deep South Magazine. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, listening to live music, and occasional bursts of fanatical bargain shopping. 

Rosey loves public speaking at conferences, book festivals, churches, libraries, book clubs, academic institutions, you name it. Reach out via the Contact page if you’d like to invite her.
