Ting J Yiu 姚敏婷 is a Hong Kong native, raised in New Zealand and currently based in Sweden. A graduate of English Literature and Human Geography from the University of Otago, her writing explores the relationship between place, time and identity. She draws inspiration from spatial boundaries—borders both artificial and natural. When not writing, she travels obsessively, seeking liminal spaces where in-between peoples and cultures defy definition. A former marine educator, the oceans are a source of solace and creativity. She has been published in various journals including Cha and Two Thirds North. She is pursuing an MA in Transnational Creative Writing at Stockholm University. [Creative Non-fiction]
