About Me

Who am I?

Whose am I?

Who am I called to be? (What up, Jesuit-educated friends)

Hi, my name is Loan (yes, it’s pronounced like that word or you can try the Vietnamese way).

Thanks for checking out my website! I’m an associate editor at Simon & Schuster’s Atria Books imprint by day. By night—and let’s be honest, into the early morning—I’m a fiction writer trying to collect as many rejections as possible. I hold an MFA in fiction writing from Fairfield University’s low-residency program.

My debut contemporary YA novel, A PHO LOVE STORY, will be published by Simon Pulse in Spring 2021.

I also write short stories, attend The Hastings—a monthly critique group with my fellow MFA sisters—and freelance on Reedsy.

This blog is where my worlds collide, where my various passions live and breathe. Please feel free to reach out through my Contact Me! page. If you’re a literary agent interested in what I acquire for Atria, check out this page.
