Hi! I’m Wen-yi. I’m a speculative fiction writer from Singapore, and my little bio line usually says I like writing about girls with bite, feral nature, and ghosts. I’m the author of The Dark We Know (Gillian Flynn Books, 2024) and When They Burned the Butterfly (Tor, 2025).

You can find more of my writing here.
