Amber Wong

Amber Wong is an environmental engineer and writer from Seattle who writes about culture, hazardous waste, and the perils and thrills of rowing, although usually not all in the same essay.

Recent essays have been published in Pangyrus, Terrain.org, Solstice, CRAFT (Winner of the 2022 CRAFT Creative Nonfiction Award), Fourteen Hills, and other literary journals and anthologies.
