Amy Han is the founder and CEO of Creative Write-it. After completing her BA (Creative Writing) and a Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing, she dreamed and wrote stories while working in children's book publishing, marketing, editing, and in schools teaching circus arts and parkour. In 2011, she was invited to lead a creative writing workshop at her local library, and she has never looked back! Since opening the Creative Write-it studio in 2014, her role has been focused on developing our programs, supporting an incredible team of writing mentors, and continuing to make Creative Write-it a wonderful, inspiring place to be. Amy writes novellas, short stories, and essays that have been published in print and online. She is currently working on a novel that involves a giant forest and a magical bird. ​

Eliz Bilal has been writing and creating characters since she first came across the adventures of Peter Pan and Harry Potter as a child. She is currently completing a Masters of Arts in Writing and Literature with a specialisation in Children’s Literature at Deakin University. Her works have been published numerous times in Deakin’s WORDLY Magazine and her War Time Fairy-tale was published in the national Australian Genealogist Magazine. In 2019, she completed an online internship with US organisation ‘Girl Museum’, where she wrote articles based on empowering women in the Arts. Eliz is currently drafting her first novel that infuses old world and fantasy literature.​

Feiya Zhang grew up in the outer western suburbs of Sydney. Poetry is her first love (then potatoes, parmesan and pastry). Her writing has appeared in Hermes, Grouch Publishing, SWAMP and Poetry d’Amour. She is a past winner of the Lane Cove Literary Award and the Parramatta SciFi Short Story Competition. She was also featured on the blog!

Izzy Woodcock is a Workshop Assistant, in our studio and online. "I have loved writing and reading stories for as long as I can remember. The sense of freedom that comes with imagining and creating something completely your own is like nothing else. I started at Creative Write-it in 2015 and since then I have been on an extraordinary journey of discovering my inner storyteller. I have published one book, am currently writing another, and also wrote this blog post! In the four years I was a student at Creative Write-it, I watched all of the Workshop Leaders teaching their groups and loved how every single team member had such a passion for writing and the English language as a whole. I feel so lucky to now be a member of the team I have looked up to for so long."
