EMILY PAN, AUTHOR

Emily X.R. Pan is the New York Times and National Indie bestselling author of THE ASTONISHING COLOR OF AFTER, which won the APALA Honor Award and the Walter Honor Award, and received six starred reviews. It was also an L.A. Times Book Prize finalist, longlisted for the Carnegie Medal, and featured on over a dozen best-of-the-year lists, among other accolades. NBC News called the novel “moving and poetic” and BuzzFeed named it as one of the best books of the decade. Emily co-created the FORESHADOW anthology and teaches creative writing at New York University and other institutions. She currently lives on Lenape land (in the New York City area), but was originally born in the Midwestern United States to immigrant parents from Taiwan. She received her undergraduate degree in marketing and international business from the NYU Stern School of Business, and her MFA in fiction from the NYU Creative Writing Program, during which time she was a Goldwater Fellow as well as the editor-in-chief of Washington Square Review. She was the founding editor-in-chief of Bodega Magazine and has been awarded residencies at Djerassi (2017) and Caldera (2019). In the past she has worked for Penguin Random House (marketing children’s books), taught creative writing to undergraduates and long-term hospital residents, and held marketing roles at various companies in New York City and Shanghai. She spends her free time playing the mandolin, making art, and practicing and teaching yoga. Her next novel will be published by Little, Brown in April 2022.
