Gracie's Biography
Grace Kwon will be starting the MFA program at George Mason University this fall. A recipient of a TA Fellowship, Grace hopes not only to become a published writer, but to also teach fiction writing. Grace believes that there is a strong Asian American Writers movement building up, a sort of Asian American Renaissance. Her dream is to be part of this movement and to give a voice to the Korean American Community, especially on the East Coast. If she could do anything right now, it would be to bring an Asian American Literature class to George Mason. Her favorite author is John Steinbeck, because he is "the mirror into our souls".
