A.Y. Chao

A.Y. Chao is a Chinese Canadian author of fantasy. She’s fascinated by the interplay between self-perceived versus imposed identity and how this intersects with belonging and enjoys exploring these spaces in her stories. A recovering lawyer and xiaolongbao enthusiast, she knits to soothe anxiety and has a deep abiding love for Hobonichi planners and kawaii planner stickers. She lives in London with her husband, daughter and rescue puppy. She is grateful for the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
