Wiley Ho – A writing community

Wiley Wei-Chiun Ho interview segment
Produced by Trevor Marc Hughes

*

Wiley Wei-Chiun Ho’s new memoir, and first book, is The Astronaut Children of Dunbar Street. She tells The British Columbia Review her book may have, in its early days, turned out to be a mystery, travel writing, or fiction, before she settled on memoir. She also tells why, despite the fact that as a child her family had a pleasant life in Taiwan, they decided to move to Vancouver. Wiley is also a very active member of the writing community in North Vancouver.
