Hello! My name is Bea (they/them). I'm a second-generation Vietnamese American, a member of Generation Z (2001!), and a recent college graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Comparative Literature and a minor in Creative Writing. In school, my coursework was geared toward modern East Asian literature, as well as literatures pertaining to the crisis of modernity faced by the onset of the twentieth century. Some of my favorite authors are Mieko Kawakami, Sayaka Murata, and Han Kang.
For the last few years, I've had the pleasure of working in several literary and arts spaces, including the Asian American Writers' Workshop, Plympton, the Creative Writing Program and Comparative Literature Department at Stanford University, and currently Poets & Writers. In many of the places I've worked, I've had specific roles as a proofreader, copyeditor, production editor, and fiction editor. As of now, I'm currently based in Minnesota, where I grew up.
