Michelle Wright is an award-winning writer who has won many prizes, including The Age short story competition. Her short story collection, Fine , was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Award for an Unpublished Manuscript and published in 2016. Michelle’s debut novel, Small Acts of Defiance , is the fruit of her deep love for Paris - her home for 12 years - as well as her decades of passion for French language, culture and history. In 2017, Michelle was awarded a six-month Australia Council residency in Paris to carry out the extensive research behind her vivid portrayal of life in occupied France.
