Jessie Lau is a writer, freelance journalist & editor working across borders
Hi there! I’m a writer and multi-platform journalist from Hong Kong, now based in London. My work has appeared in The Guardian, BBC, Los Angeles Review of Books, CNN, The Economist, WIRED and many others. A generalist with expertise on China and Asia, I’ve spent the past decade covering the intersections of human rights, politics and culture from China, the United States, and Europe. I’m currently editor-in-chief and board member at NüVoices, a non-profit amplifying gender minorities working on China subjects. Commissions and cold calls are welcome.
