Hi, my name is Sheon Han (pronounced “Sean Hahn”). I’m a writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I grew up (mostly) in Seoul, Korea and came to the US for college where I studied some mix of philosophy, literature and computer science. My writing has appeared in The New Yorker, WIRED, The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, The Point, The Verge, Quanta Magazine, Longreads and elsewhere.
I was once invited to speak with Erika Hayasaki and her students in UC Irvine’s literary journalism program, where I talked about how I found my way into writing, which might serve as a longer bio — here’s the interview.
My email is sheon.han[at]gmail[dot]com and I’m also on Twitter. You can also subscribe to my mailing list, through which I infrequently—about once or twice a year—send out an email with recent writings and updates on what I’ve been up to. I am represented by Allison Devereux at Trellis Literary Management.
I have the honor of being told by the late great Janet Malcolm, “You betrayed journalism.”
