Writer Lee Seula

Korean Authors   Writer Lee Seula   2021.10.05     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, I’m Lee Seula, the writer. I publish Dailee-sulla, I also run the Hey Uhm publishing house. I was born in 1992. I write diligently.   How was your childhood?   When I was a child, I was so shy that my talking wasn’t great. I think one whose speech isn’t good can write well. People who are good at talking can communicate so well that they won’t have any regrets because they say everything they want to. But those who are not good at talking go home with regrets. Those with regrets have a high probability of writing a diary. In that respect, I think I was a child who wrote a diary full of regrets. In my youth, I also wrote a lot of diaries back then.   I heard that there was one particular teacher who helped you become a writer.   I attended an alternative school. There were a lot of activities there that made me write. That...

I write children and youth books.   From when did you want to be a children’s book writer?   When I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, I first read a storybook. I found out I couldn’t go to middle school at that time. The only way for me to accept that fact was to try to escape by reading books.

That was how I was vaguely thinking at the time.   Where do you get inspiration for writing?   What gives me energy to write is life.
