Kristi Wong

Kristi Wong is a genderfluid-y Canadian-born writer of Chinese-Malay descent, which is too many hyphenated descriptors from someone plagued by hyphens their entire life. Their work is informed by a stubborn fascination with complexity and nuance, their intersectional identity, and the retroactive grief, joy, and discovery of late-diagnosed ADHD. Pieces of theirs have appeared or are forthcoming in emerge 24: The Writer’s Studio Anthology, Tahoma Literary Review, WordWorks, and Chthonic Lit. Currently, they’re spinning up little tales of wonder, horror, and everything in between. You can find out more at kristi-wong.com.
