About Me

Hi! I’m Ailin Li , a moonlighting writer of novels, short fiction, video game narrative, and creative nonfiction. You can find samples of my works on this website (under Short Fiction, Writing Contests, or Video Game Portfolio) and support my writing projects by clicking on Shop.

By day, I am a public policy and government relations professional. (If you are too, feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn!)

As a lifelong learner, I am currently pursuing my JD (Class of ‘28) at the University of Calgary. I hold a Master of Information and Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto (St. George). I have also obtained a Professional Certificate in Video Game Writing through the University of British Columbia.

I am a lover of words, fluent in English and Mandarin (Chinese). Currently, I am learning French (intermediate) and Japanese (beginner). My goal is to one day speak as many languages as I can count on one hand.

Other hobbies of mine include reading (of course), and playing video games, board games, and Dungeons & Dragons. You can follow my reading progress on The Storygraph.
