edit data

Born in sweltering Singapore, Celine Ong (she/they) was raised in mosh pits, and writes queer romance novels about chaos gremlins with bad manners, weird feelings, and big hearts. Their proudest accomplishment is being able to, completely unprovoked, quote the entirety of Venom: Let There Be Carnage by heart.

HOLD ME LIKE A GRUDGE is their debut novel. LOSER NEW YEAR comes out in 2027.

You can find Celine trying to be cool and mysterious (but failing miserably for they were born to yap about their many fixations) at writewithcel.com or on Instagram at @readwithcel.

Celine is represented by Brent Taylor at Triada US Literary Agency.
