Mallee Stanley is a B.C. writer whose first novel set in Uganda, You can’t clap with one Hand was published in 2025. She lived in East Africa and will soon publish her second novel set in Tanzania.
Although she now calls Canada home, she has lived overseas in Africa, Asia, and Australia for over forty years, so her writing has an international flavour. She has completed five historical fictions set in East Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Canada with a through line dealing with racism and patriarchy. She often writes in women’s voices and her stories are inspired by personal experiences during her travels.
