Ya-Ling Huang was born in Taiwan and received her master’s degree in Children’s Book
Illustration in the UK. She is represented by Pickled Ink Illustration Agency. Ya-Ling writes
and illustrates her own stories, as well as illustrating other picture books, young adult novels
and magazines. When she was seven, Ya-Ling decided she wanted to be a storyteller, and
she has been creating stories and comics ever since.
Ya-Ling creates her hand-drawn illustrations in watercolor and colored pencil, to achieve a
transparent look with layers of color. She smiles when she draws a smiling face, and frowns
when she’s working on a negative facial expression. And she adds spark and sparkle with a
generous application of humor.

Ling Ling Huang recommends
The Queen (2024)
Nick Cutter
"A harrowing body horror you won't be able to put down, The Queen is an unforgettable journey that captures the monstrosity of pubescence and the violent heartbreak of adolescent friendships. As soulful as it is sickening, Cutter's writing kept me utterly enthralled. I have never turned pages faster, but I'm certain my brain will be buzzing with this book for a long time to come."
William (2024)
Mason Coile
"A deliciously terrifying book about creation and its false promise of control, William exposes the harrowing consequences of playing god. Coile demolishes the idea that our homes and identities are safe in a fully automated world. I dare you to read this in more than one sitting."
The Nude (2024)
C Michelle Lindley
"As stunning, complex, and carefully crafted as the sculpture our art historian protagonist hopes to acquire, I was astounded and utterly enchanted by Lindley's portrayal of a woman's internal journey from object to subject. The porousness of marble is a perfect metaphor for the vulnerabilities and dissolving boundaries of a woman finding autonomy in a world that insists on her complicit confinement. The lush, lyrical writing of The Nude depicts the gray areas of cultural appropriation, ethics, and sexuality so seamlessly, I had to remind myself to breathe while reading."
