edit data

Samantha Chong is a Malaysian fiction writer, and her debut YA novel, Prodigal Tiger, will be published by Putnam Children’s in spring 2026. Samantha is constantly exploring what it means to belong, whether that’s tied to places, people, or the myriad of ways that someone can carve out their space in an increasingly shifting world. When she’s not writing, Samantha is out looking for hidden histories, cooing over cats, or attempting to whip up culinary creations.
