Somewhat Extended Bio:
Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Andrea Tang earned a bachelor’s degree from Bryn Mawr College and a master’s degree from the University of Oxford, where she spent a lot of time studying difficult languages and collecting increasingly niche hobbies. She also earned a Fulbright grant to teach English in South Korea, which really further enabled the whole difficult languages and niche hobbies thing.
She currently resides in the Washington, DC area, where she bowed out of a career in international risk consulting to spend her days penning science fiction, fantasy, and young adult novels, a professional transition that gives her great small talk fodder at dinner parties. Her books include the Rebelwing duology, which was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, Kingdom of Without, and most recently, These Deadly Prophecies, which was a Barnes & Noble YA Book Club pick.
In addition to her work as a novelist, she's also a combat sports writer and an avid martial artist. When she’s not busy scribbling down stories, she teaches and competes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where she’s previously won the Pan-American, European, and American National no-gi titles in her division.
