I’m Kimberly Rooney | 高小荣, a writer, editor, and — take your pick: singer, runner, crocheter, other. I’m currently working on an essay collection on adoption, identity, and home. Twice a month, I publish film, literature, and video critical analyses, along with personal and professional updates, on my Substack, Decisions and Revisions.
I’ve worked as a reporter, a copy editor and fact-checker, a video game narrative writer, and a barista. I am 2023 Periplus Fellow who received mentorship from Nicole Chung and a 2022 Best of the Net finalist, and my writing has appeared in The Offing, Waxwing Magazine, Chestnut Review, Longleaf Review, The Rumpus, and more.
