(Below you’ll also find a partial list of Asian American writers who’ve published fiction but haven’t yet published full-length works.)
The list includes author information — website, Twitter handle, etc. — where possible, as provided by the authors or the people who suggested these authors, to encourage readers to discover their works and event organizers to get in touch.
