Brad Lee
Brad Lee is a graphic designer, illustrator, and writer from Quebec.
Raised by samurais, aliens, undead, wizards, pirates, princesses and superheroes, the meanings and powers of art and fiction, as tools for social commentary or self-expression, intrigued him from the cradle.
He started a Webtoon comic strip, “Murasaki: The Last Assassin”, and his French contemporary metafiction novel is currently in the submission stage. He is also a chat and event moderator for WriteHive, and has moderated several panels during their annual conference.

Pitch isn't a Bad Word
Pitching can be intimidating. It’s difficult to reduce an entire novel into a small query or elevator pitch. But it doesn’t have to be an anxiety-inducing process or something to avoid! Our panelists help break down pitching and how to take some of the pain out of the process by giving strategies based on where and how you’re pitching, along with pointing out misconceptions. | Moderated by Brad Lee
5:30 - 07:00 PM

Tell Me a Story: Exploring Narrative Styles
Many of us have heard of Save the Cat or Hero’s Journey, but more styles exist in writing! Our panelists explain why it’s beneficial to explore various styles, when a new style can be effective, and what to consider when choosing your style. | Moderated by Brad Lee

Fashion and Worldbuilding
Writers’ block can sometimes feel like sitting in the middle of your closet deciding what to wear. When we finally choose our #OutfitOfTheDay, it’s astonishing how the clothing we choose to wear impacts us as a person, so how does that translate into our characters’ stories? Put on your thinking caps and let’s talk about it! | Moderated by Brad Lee
9:00 - 10:30 AM
