Hello!
Student, Writer, Artist
Hi, my name is Alyssa Wong and I am a sophomore at Northwestern University. I double major in Communications (Creative Industries) and Creative Writing with a Spanish Minor and Integrated Marketing Communications Certificate.
I am a founder and the VP of Engagement for Northwestern’s premiere women’s writing interest club, The Undead Poets Society, and a member of the premiere preprofessional marketing club, Form & Function. Outside of Northwestern, I am the co-founder and co-president of a youth speculative fiction critique group, Critter Crew. I’m an alumna of Alpha Young Writers Workshop 2024, Iowa Young Writers Studio 2023, and Smith Creative Writing Pre-college 2022.
Currently, I am working on a YA adventure fantasy novel, estimated to be complete in Spring 2027.
