Hail the muse! (I don’t know what this has to do with writing, but my friend said this photo makes me look active and Asian)

I’m Sophia! I was born in NYC, graduated Harvard at 20, and worked as a film and TV actor—and yes, I am the world’s first iPod silhouette model.

I then vanished into obscurity and did what any unemployable artist would: wedding choreographing, pitbull fostering, running Wise Child Admissions Coaching...until I lost my eyesight and mobility to the rare chronic illness MOGAD (a terribly-named disease similar to MS). Because I’m an overachiever like that.

Today, I write emotionally raw romance and speculative/fantasy about misfits searching for found family. Books that make you laugh while emotionally gutting you. Like life—with hotter guys.

I teach Character First writing with Daniel David Wallace, coach new podcasters, and host The Sophia Chang Show. I’m a Reese’s Book Club LitUp Fellow represented by Holly Root at Root Literary.
