Kelly Young Chang is the author of THE SINS OF GOOD PEOPLE, forthcoming from akaStory at Abrams in 2027. She is a member of the Women of Words workshop group and a graduate of Emerson College with double degrees in Acting and Writing. In her writing, Kelly is drawn to stories about isolated and morally gray characters, the juxtaposition of humor and sadness, redemptive arcs amidst darkness, and characters who grapple with issues of faith and doubt. Kelly grew up just outside Poughkeepsie, New York, and she now lives in New York City with her husband and son.
