Born and raised in the Greater Los Angeles area, Julia Chen (she/her) is still aspiring to be the Miyazaki heroine she knows she can be, which might explain why her first ever published piece was about (literal) toast. She was most recently a finalist in Fiction for Kundiman's 2019 Mentorship Lab and a member of Winter Tangerine's April 2019 intensive workshop in New York City, where she now works in nonprofit theater. You can find her online at juliahchen.com and @passthejujubes on Instagram and Twitter.
