Kristan Hoffman
writer • halfie
Born to an American father and Taiwanese mother, Kristan Hoffman grew up trying to find her place in the space between two cultures. Truthfully, she’s still looking. For that reason, she mostly writes multicultural, women-centered stories, some fictional and some not.
Kristan studied creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University, and later attended the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Hunger Mountain, Switchback, and the Citron Review, among others. She is currently at work on a Young Adult novel, and seeking new representation due to her beloved literary agent’s unexpected retirement.
Originally from Houston, TX, Kristan is now based in Cincinnati, OH, with her husband and two children — although for the next few years, they are on temporary assignment in Guangzhou, China.
