about.

Mitchell Ny is a Cambodian-Taiwanese writer based in Southern California. He writes to wring from the mess: the scrappy, the ugly, and the brazenly beautiful.He is an Actuary by trade and when he is not writing, he basically likes a bunch of stuff. Like throwing mud on the pottery wheel, throwing hands in the boxing ring, hiking, cooking, collecting cool plants, making music. He'll talk your ear off about it all too.He has work published in Maudlin House, Bending Genres, and Same Faces Collective. He was also a finalist for American Literary Review's 2025 Nonfiction Contest.He still feels awkward writing about himself in third person. But that's the norm in the lit scene, apparently.minutia. is a living chapbook.-
