Yiwen Xu is a bilingual writer born in China and raised in Canada. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioural Neuroscience but prefers writing stories over lab reports. She is currently pursuing an MFA degree in Hong Kong and is in love with the double-deck trams.

She has trouble seeing the stars even with glasses on, so she likes to bring fantasies down to Earth. She writes literary fiction and social sci-fi with a focus on culture collision, gender issues, and the human mind. She also writes fan fiction for fun and pets every single cat she meets.
