Sarah Kwong

Sarah began her career as a journalist in London, working as both a full-time staffer and a freelancer. Her writing appeared in Grazia, Marie Claire, New Statesman, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, and The Times Magazine, among others.

These days, she writes essays about identity, culture, wellbeing, and travel for a variety of literary publications, as well as on Medium. She also writes short fiction.

​

In September 2021, Sarah launched being, a free monthly zine encouraging slow living. It was distributed in independent businesses around Hong Kong and, when she relocated, Edinburgh. Now, (for the planet's sake) being is published solely online.
