Jack Cheng is a Shanghai-born, Detroit-based author & maker.

I write inventive, character-driven stories for 10-year-olds of all ages, including the Golden Kite winning See You in the Cosmos. My newest novel, The Many Masks of Andy Zhou is out now.

My interests aren’t by any means limited to books. I also make Bebop, an iOS app for capturing quick text notes, and graduated from Building Beauty, an architecture program based on the work of Christopher Alexander.

Once a week(ish), I send out an email newsletter to a couple thousand people on creative work, slow tech, and my kaleidoscopic interests. I’ve been writing it since 2013. Sign up below:
