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
While We Were Burning (2024)
Sara Koffi
"An incendiary debut by a powerful new voice, While We Were Burning is a chilling and deliciously dark novel that explores the transformative crucible of grief and the impossibilities of reckoning with loss. It kept me guessing until the end and haunted me for long after."
Better By Far (2024)
Hazel Hayes
"A geography of loneliness, a map of the liminal spaces of heartbreak, and a testament to grief's ability to supplant any narrative, Better by Far is a tender and powerful book that simultaneously bruised and healed me. I leaked all the way through this deeply felt and moving journey."
Ellipses (2024)
Vanessa Lawrence
"An unflinchingly honest debut about the dizzying stakes of finding selfhood in a society that constantly threatens total consumption. Lawrence's writing is as lyrical as it is incisive, exposing the bravery it takes to not be complicit in your own oppression. I couldn't put this down."
