Biography

Wang was born in Melbourne and is a fourth generation Australian, her ancestors having come to Australia during the Australian gold rushes of the mid-1800s. Wang trained as a graphic designer in Melbourne, then studied painting and language in Taiwan and China. She lectured in Chinese at RMIT University in Melbourne before writing full time. Her work is influenced by her experiences of growing up between two cultures.[1]

Wang's children's novel, A Ghost in my Suitcase, was adapted for the stage by Vanessa Bates of Barking Gecko Theatre and toured in 2019.[2]

In March 2022 she was named the Australian Children's Laureate for 2022–2023.[3][4]
