Timeline

Gerard Lee was born in Melbourne and brought up in Brisbane in the 1960s in the inner southern suburb of Dutton Park.
Lee began writing for The Telegraph newspaper at the age of 16, although he later attended the University of Queensland, the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, and, many decades later, Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
Lee started as a poet and drummer (including sitting in as the drummer for the first performance by Brisbane band, The Go-Betweens).
He later moved to fiction and travel writing, then writing for film and television.
Lee met Jane Campion at AFTRS and later co-wrote her feature debut, Sweetie (film), which won Best Screenplay at the Australian Film Institute Awards, a Camera d'Or at Cannes, and many other awards.
It was screened internationally and is now part of The Criterion Collection.
His second novel, Troppo Man (1990), set in Ubud, Bali, was shortlisted for the Vogel's Young Writers Award.

As a prose writer, Lee has published two novels, a collection of short stories and a collection of travel stories, all with University of Queensland Press.
The 'Oxford Companion to Australian Literature' stated of Lee in a commentary on his first novel, "True Love and How to Get it", "...a witty writer with a deceptively naive narrative style, Lee frequently satirises contemporary Queensland lifestyles".
Lee produced and wrote the screenplay for the film My Mistress, starring Emmanuelle Beart and Harrison Gilbertson, which was released November 2014 and sold in many territories.
It is the story of a relationship between a 16-year-old boy and a 40-something S&M mistress.

As of 2021, Lee was working on a screenplay for the Peter Carey novel Theft with Optimism Films (Melbourne).
He is also working with Wayne Blair (The Sapphires, Dirty Dancing etc.) on a feature screenplay for a personal film set in Blair's hometown, Rockhampton.
