Winnie M Li

Winnie M Li is an author and activist. Her latest novel Complicit draws upon her earlier career in the film industry and was selected by The New York Times for their monthly book club. A Harvard graduate, she won The Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize with her debut novel DARK CHAPTER and was shortlisted for an Edgar Award. Driven by her own personal experience of rape, she founded Clear Lines, the UK’s first festival addressing sexual assault and consent through the arts and discussion.  She also began her PhD research at the London School of Economics and received an honorary doctorate from the National University of Ireland in recognition of her work. Winnie lives in the English countryside, with her partner and toddler. Complicit was published by Orion in June 2022.
