Sheon Han

[a-z]*

Hi, my name is Sheon Han (pronounced “Sean Hahn”). I’m a writer based in Palo Alto, California.

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 and elsewhere.

I was once invited to speak with Erika Hayasaki and her students in UC Irvine’s literary journalism program, where I shared how I found my way into writing — 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. I infrequently—about once or twice a year—send out an email with recent writings and whatever thoughts are going on in my head. 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.”
