Quang Bao
Revson Fellow 2006-2007
Executive Director
The Asian American Writers’ Workshop
Quang Bao is the Executive Director of The Asian American Writers’ Workshop, the country’s largest literary arts nonprofit dedicated to the creation, development, publication, and dissemination of Asian American literature. His fiction, essays, and book reviews have appeared in The Boston Globe, The Threepenny Review, The New York Times, National Public Radio, Open City, Watermark: Vietnamese American Poetry and Prose (AAWW), Personals: Dreams and Nightmares from the Lives of Twenty Young Writers (Houghton Mifflin), and The Asian American Literature Textbook (Chicago Press).
As a Revson Fellow I had the unique opportunity to
experience the academic environment of Columbia
University and learn from the real world experiences
of the Revson cohort. My year as a Revson Fellow allowed me to grow professionally at the same time providing a well needed respite from my advocacy work. I was able to renew my commitment to public service and return to work rejuvenated.
