Michele Lear is a Canadian writer whose prose and poetry have appeared in Canadian Women Studies Journal, The Newfoundland Quarterly, the Newfoundland Writers’ Guild anthology Life Sentences, and Once on a Tuesday Night.

She earned a Master’s Degree in English and Creative Writing at the University of Windsor, studying with renowned author Alistair McLeod, and studied with renowned author Wayne Johnson during her undergraduate degree.
