1 Published BooksElizabeth Wong
Elizabeth Wong grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She now works as a geologist and writer in London, UK, with a detour to New Haven USA, and Aberdeen UK in the middle. She was a keen reader growing up, frequenting all the libraries that KL and its suburbs had to offer. Now she writes stories of Malaysia and also of this large world we live in — deserts, seas, rocks. She is interested in literary fiction and speculative fiction/ science fiction/ fantasy, and that lovely intersection in the middle. She also reads pop psychology and personal finance non-fiction for her "easy reads".
Elizabeth has degrees in geology and English from Yale University, USA, and in petroleum geoscience from Imperial College London, UK. She has won prizes for her writing as a Yale undergraduate. Her final year project led to her debut novel, "We Could Not See The Stars," published by John Murray Press / Hachette. An early draft was longlisted for the Bath Novel Award '18 and Lucy Cavendish Prize '19. Find her at theelizabethwong.com
