Wang Xuan was born in Heilongjiang, China but at age seven, she moved to the Los Angeles where she chose the name “Juliana” out of the back of a dictionary.

Juliana, or rather, me, hi. I am the author of the story collection Home Remedies which was published in 2019 by Hogarth in the U.S. and Atlantic in the U.K.

My stories and essays have appeared in The Atlantic, Ploughshares, Freemans, Narrative, The Cut, Gulfcoast, and The Pushcart Prize and The Best American Nonrequired Reading anthologies. I am a fiction editor at Fence.

I’ve received Wallace Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University as well as residencies from the MacDowell Colony, The Corporation of Yaddo, and LMCC Workspace.

I currently teach creative writing at UCLA.
