about.

Mitchell Ny is a Cambodian-Taiwanese writer based in Southern California. He writes to wring from the mess: the scrappy, the ugly, and the brazenly beautiful.He is an Actuary by trade and when he is not writing or buried in spreadsheets he enjoys boxing, ceramics, making music, and cooking.He still feels pretty awkward writing about himself in third person. But that's the norm in the lit scene, apparently.
