Originally from San Francisco and raised in the Hudson Valley, Mia is a writer, freelance editor, and former biologist based in Queens, NYC. Her first book, Fragments of Wasted Devotion, is out now with Quilted Press. Her writing has been published in WITCH: Anthology edited by Michelle Tea, Autostraddle, HerStry, Copy, Bullshit Lit, and elsewhere. Less formal, more personal musings on media and sexuality can also be found on her blog, Overripe Peach. See her Writing page for more information. 

Mia’s work is heavily informed by her lived experiences as an Asian-Latina lesbian and explores how queer people try and fail to love each other. She serves as Interview Correspondent for Half Mystic Press and Manager of School Programs for House of SpeakEasy, a literary nonprofit working to expand access to books and book culture throughout New York City. In July 2025, she launched Pocket Publications, a mini zine press. She loves pho, leaf-peeping, her cat Peanut, and trying to write her first novel while listening to Yumi Zouma but getting up and dancing instead. She is very happy you’re here.
