Jade Song is a writer, filmmaker, and artist. Their debut novel Chlorine (William Morrow, 2023) was lauded as "visionary and disturbing," selected as a New York Times Editor's Choice, awarded the Alex Award and the Writer's Center First Novel Prize, and translated into Italian, French, Mandarin Chinese, and other languages. Her second novel, I Love You Don’t Die, will be published in March 2026, and her debut short story collection, Ox Ghost Snake Demon, is forthcoming early 2027, both from William Morrow. Their short stories, essays, and creative nonfiction have appeared in literary magazines like Joyland, Missouri Review, Literary Hub, and Electric Literature, among others.

Song’s work explores the navigation between the true self and the sociocultural contexts denying that self existence. Influenced by Sinophone literary myths and diasporic communities, Song synthesizes subgenres like body horror, satirical exaggeration, and urban fantasy to create speculative literary fiction that prioritizes extremes of emotion over logical reasoning in order to embrace the rawness of human experience.

She has taught writing at organizations like Tin House, Morbid Anatomy, and Lighthouse Writers Workshop; she has received support from the Vermont Studio Center and the Black List, which selected her adapted screenplay of Chlorine for its annual Writers Lab. They pole dance and live with too many books in Brooklyn.
