Biography
Vo was born in Peoria, Illinois, where she lived until attending college at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.[2] In 2007 she moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Michigan.[1][2] She defines her sexuality as queer.[3]
Vo's first published short story was "Gift of Flight" in 2007, after which she published a number of short stories in various media.[2] In 2020 Vo published the novella The Empress of Salt and Fortune, which won the Hugo Award for Best Novella[4][5] and the 2021 IAFA Crawford Award.[6] The book was also a finalist for the Locus and the Ignyte Award. It was followed by When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain. The novellas are part of the Singing Hills Cycle, with three more novellas having been acquired for Tor.com.[7] Since the deal, Into the Riverlands has been published and Mammoths at the Gates was released in 2023. The novellas can be read in any order.[8]
Her debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, was published in 2021.[7] The novel is a queer fantasy adaptation of The Great Gatsby which reimagines the character of Jordan Baker as a woman of Vietnamese descent who was taken to Louisville as a young child and raised by a wealthy, white American family.[9][10] Vo's second novel, Siren Queen, an urban fantasy set in pre-Code Hollywood, was released in May 2022.[2][11]
