Eli Pang is a copywriter and translator based in the US who watches too much Japanese variety television and journeys to midnight showings at local cinemas. With a sleep schedule akin to a night terror, Eli spends most of their time writing and debating what they should meal prep for the rest of the week. When Eli is not writing or thinking about their next meal, they enjoy spending their time demolishing an ever-growing book pile, knitting, and bird-watching.
