ⓘ About Jenny Zhang
Jenny Zhang (who is also known as Jenny Bagel) was born in Shanghai, China in the year 1983. While only five years old, she came to New York City so that she could join her dad. At the time, he was at New York University and studied linguistics. Her mother was also in America, who immigrated to the states after the Chinese Cultural Revolution. When she first came here, she had no way to respond to anyone that spoke to her, and it made writing a safe haven for her. It was somewhere she could go and not have an accent. Her dad pulled himself out of the PhD program he was in, and started working as a teacher. He would later enroll in school to study computer programming, and later the family would move on to Long Island. It was here that her dad ran a computer repair business. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Poetry Collections series, Jenny Zhang has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
