Kristi Wong

Writer / Editor / Creative

I’m a genderfluid-y (they/them) Canadian-born writer of Chinese-Malay descent, which is too many hyphenated descriptors from someone plagued by hyphens their entire life. My work is informed by a stubborn fascination with complexity and nuance, an intersectional identity, and the retroactive grief, joy, and discovery of late-diagnosed ADHD. Currently, I live as a settler on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territories of Halq̓eméylem-speaking peoples, including the Qayqayt, səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Stó꞉lō peoples.

WORK WITH ME

EDITING

I provide developmental feedback, structural editing, and line editing on manuscripts of all kinds, though I'm particularly interested in memoir/personal narrative and speculative-leaning fiction (gimme spooky! gimme weird!). If you have a different kind of project that needs editing, let's chat and see how I can help!Get started →

COPYWRITING

Don't know how to put what you want to say in written form? Tag me in! Distilling all the parts of you and your message into clear, personable communication is my jam.Get started →

HOSTING/FACILITATING

I! Love! Facilitating! Podcasts, events, workshops, whatever - if it involves setting a vibe that's warm, comfortable, and sometimes silly, where everyone feels heard and safe to share, I'd love to be a part of it.Get started →

OTHER THINGS (CREATIVE STUFF?)

Non-exhaustive list of things I can help with:

  • Set up a website, teach you how to use it, and/or maintain it for you.

  • Get unstuck from things like writer's block or low creative energy.

  • Flexible structure (ex. suggested routines to try) and external accountability (check-ins, encouragement).

And whatever else you can think of! Always happy to figure out if we'd be a good fit :)Get started →
