About Me

 

Who am I?

Whose am I?

Who am I called to be? 

Hi, my name is Loan Le. 

Pronunciation (English): Lone Lee

Pronunciation (Vietnamese): Lu-awn Lê – quickly, no emphasis on any syllable (Southern dialect, which is what my family uses) versus the standard dialect (bonus!).

Thanks for checking out my website! I’m an 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 YA romantic-comedy, A Phở Love Story, will be published by S&S Books for Young Readers in February 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.
