About this author

Li Miao Lovett began her writing career after a 600-mile backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail where she encountered a stalker, a compulsive poet, and ten thousand mosquitoes. Her time spent backpacking abroad and in the deserts of the American West has inspired her much of her writing. She has been a frequent contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED Perspectives. Her work has also appeared in Narrative Magazine, Earth Island Journal, China Rights Forum, and the Bay Citizen. Li has organized events showcasing the works of dissident and censored writers. In both fiction and nonfiction, Lis work has won awards or finalist standing from Glimmer Train, Writers Digest, Stanford Magazine, and the James Jones First Novel Fellowship....more
