About Me
Yiwei Liu
I am a fiction writer from Beijing, currently pursuing an MFA degree in writing at Columbia University School of the Arts. I write about memories and grief through exploring surrealism in cities, often taking inspiration from defunct and extinct spaces.
I hold a BS degree from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where I double-majored in finance and management. Additionally, I earned a MPA degree from Columbia School of International and Public Affairs, focusing on environmental science and policy.
I am working on my debut novel.
