Meet Steven Shen

Steven Shen is currently working on his novella, Chérie—a story set in an Airbnb on Russian Hill. It follows a visual artist’s endless search for inspiration, and the bittersweet feeling of realizing something too late.

He’d like you to think it’s all fiction. But considering he memorizes San Francisco’s geography better than his own neighborhood in Shanghai, and sketches random cities he’s never lived in—some truths (a lot) might have slipped through.

Outside the two hours a week he spends on his novella, you can find him spending hours on graphic softwares and working on digital art or comic strips.

Steven studies advertising at Boston University.

He is best known for writing this bio.
