Did you always know you wanted to be a writer? Nope.

What did you major in during college? Finance.

Whoa, how the heck did you get into writing then? I had a baby, was bummed there weren’t many books with main characters who looked like him (or me!), got burnt out working/providing childcare/being pregnant during the pandemic, retired to become a stay-at-home mom, and wanted a creative outlet. I decided to try my hand at writing picture books so my kids could see themselves represented in children’s literature. Then, I kept writing because I fell in love with storytelling.

Are you published yet? My first book comes out on 12.2.25 with more coming soon!

What is your favorite food? Galbi and naengmyeon.

What’s your Korean name? 윤수영
