Natalie Rogers

Writer and Teacher

I am a Chinese-American writer based in Utah. I was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Reseda, California. I'm currently completing my first novel set in 1960's Hong Kong, which is inspired by my mother's childhood in Kowloon City. From 2012-2014, I taught English at Chinese University and lived in the very best neighborhood in Hong Kong: Sham Shui Po. I have been awarded grants and fellowships from Varda Artist Residency, the Fine Arts Work Center Summer Program, Syracuse University, and the University of Denver.

This fall I'll teach fiction at Utah State University as a postdoctoral diversity fellow.
