She is a 2021-2022 PEN America Writing for Justice Fellow, a Tin House Scholar, the winner of a Nelson Algren prize for fiction, the recipient of a City Artist Corps Grant, and a former fellow at the Center for Fiction, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop Witness Program, and Kundiman’s Mentorship Program.

Sarah is working on, “The Artificial Organ,” a novel about immigration, plastic surgery, Los Angeles, hair transplants, surveillance, memory, gendered violence, and displacement. A draft of the manuscript will be finished in Spring 2022.

An interview with PEN America’s Works of Justice about her writing states: “Sarah Wang slips into the past with ease. She possesses an archaeological precision in documenting her cultural history, yet draws the reader close by infusing the text with personal, intimate symbols. Sarah’s voice is magnetic—at once lyrically resonant, and sharpened by an outspoken critical eye. Carefully examining the dark underbelly of American society, Sarah addresses topics from the militaristic violence inflicted on girls in juvenile detention, to the heightened surveillance of our private lives.”
