Wendy Lee Email & Phone Number

I'm a freelance book editor and ghostwriter who started my publishing career of more than a decade at HarperCollins Publishers. I'm also the author of the novels The Art of Confidence (Kensington Books, 2016), Across a Green Ocean (Kensington Books, 2015), and Happy Family (Grove Atlantic, 2008). Happy Family was named one of the top 10 debut novels of the year by Booklist and awarded an honorable mention from the Association of Asian American Studies. I've received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and the Corporation of Yaddo for my writing.As an editor, I enjoy working on memoir, narrative nonfiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, historical fiction, and the mystery/suspense genre. The books I've ghostwritten include inspirational memoirs and contemporary women’s fiction. I'm especially interested in Asian American issues and love to work with writers from diverse backgrounds. As the second-generation daughter of immigrants from China, I feel that more immigrant stories need to be told. A passion for education has led me to teach English in China and classes at the Asian American Writers Workshop in New York City. I've also mentored NYC high school students with the nonprofit Girls Write Now, and tutored under-resourced students in Los Angeles with 826LA. I live in Queens, NYC, where I enjoy exploring the variety of food and cultural experiences the borough has to offer.
