Malinda Lo
Malinda Lo is an American writer of young adult novels including Ash, Huntress, Adaptation, Inheritance, A Line in the Dark, and Last Night at the Telegraph Club. She also does research on diversity in young adult literature and publishing.
Lo was born in China and moved to the United States at the age of three. She graduated from Wellesley College and earned a master's degree in Regional Studies from Harvard. She enrolled at Stanford with the intention of obtaining a PhD in Cultural and Social Anthropology, but left with a second master's degree.
Malinda Lo was made a member of the faculty of the Lambda Literary Foundation's 2013 Writer Retreat for Emerging LGBT Voices, along with Samuel R. Delany, Sarah Schulman and David Groff.
She resides in Massachusetts with her wife, Amy Lovell.
In 2022, Lo was named by Carnegie Corporation of New York as an honoree of the Great Immigrants Awards.
Lo began writing for the culture blog AfterEllen in 2003, and at one point served as the managing editor.
She was also a contributing writer for Curve magazine from 2005 to 2007, acting as associate editor for a majority of her tenure.
Her first novel, Ash, was published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers in 2009. Ash was a finalist for the William C. Morris Award, the Andre Norton Award for YA Fantasy and Science Fiction, the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award, and the Lambda Literary Award. Her second book, Huntress, was published by Little, Brown in 2011. It is set in the same fantasy world as Ash, which mixes East Asian and European influences; it too was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award finalist and for the 2012 Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Novel, as well as being judged a Best Book for Young Adults by the American Library Association. Her third book, Adaptation, was published in 2012. Reviewers at Kirkus Reviews and elsewhere have compared it favorably to the television program The X-Files. The X-Files was also the subject of Lo's graduate research at Stanford. A sequel to Adaptation, titled Inheritance, was published in 2013.
