LIA WANG

Writer

Lia Wang loves stories so much, she decided to create her own. She writes magic — stars scooped from the sea, silver rings that deflect curses, origami cranes that come to life as you fold them. When not writing, you may find her yapping about, drinking citrus tea, or more likely, struggling through her chem pset.
