Lia Wu

Bio

Lia Wu is half-Chinese, wholly ADHD, and hopelessly nerdy. She taught middle and high school English for three years, then was called crazy when she told her students she missed writing essays and that she was going back to graduate school. She earned her BA in English, Asian Studies, and Classical Studies at Rice University and her MA in publishing at Western Colorado University. Somewhere in there, she also earned a graduate certificate in Homeland Security and Defense from Missouri State University. She is now currently living in Arkansas where she's aiming to earn her PhD in English with a focused study in Rhetoric and Composition and an emphasis in World Literatures and Cultures (which is just a really fancy way of saying that she's like a Pokemon trainer - gotta study 'em all!) Reading and writing is her passion, hence her work with local authors through her publishing company, Ozark Hollow Press. She has published two short stories: "Tail-End" in the anthology Feisty Felines and Other Fantastical Familiars and "The Ties That Bind" in the anthology Chaotic Cupids: When Love Goes Awry.
