Her work has been featured in a VR museum. ︎ irleywrites ︎ irleywrites (at) gmail (dot) com (irley = shirley without the “shh” cuz I’m loud) <img width="640" height="960" width_o="640" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20e056a26bf0a6b5d8ef741fcc3ccccb9cffd30635fcbe4e46082a99deff1669/profile-cropped.png" data-mid="149595543" border="0" data-scale="74" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/20e056a26bf0a6b5d8ef741fcc3ccccb9cffd30635fcbe4e46082a99deff1669/profile-cropped.png" /> Reviews &amp; Interviews interviewOn Rejection: Shirley Chan Collected Rejections Writing community Senior nonfiction editor (2023-present) The ASP Bulletin Co-founder (2024) Secret Nook Reading Series Member (2023-present) Page Street Member (2022-present) Bereket Writing Community CNF reader (2022) Reservoir Road Literary Review Workshops &amp; FellowshipsworkshopDRAFT (Winter 2025) tbd workshopDRAFT (Summer 2024) Josh Mohr workshopLit Fest (2024) Beth Nguyen workshopManuscript Bootcamp (2023) Pam Houston workshopTin House (Summer 2022) Sarah Gerard fellowship Rooted &amp; Written (2022) Celeste Chan and JD Beltran workshop Writing by Writers (Tomales Bay 2022) Melissa Febos https://irleywrites.com/Words Thu, 04 Aug 2022 06:45:15 +0000 Shirley Chan is writing a memoir https://irleywrites.com/Words WORDS ︎ Check out published work.
