Ms. Bridget-Tao Tang's earliest writings were in Chinese, and her first Chinese short story won first prize in the nationwide Literature Competition in China. Ms. Tang's first novel was written in Chinese and published in Beijing, and it has been sold internationally.
Ms. Tang's next four novels have been written in English and published in the United States--her first quartet--Hold on Tight, Three Birds, Forever Sunshine Road, and Our Leaves. Each novel tells a story about a young Chinese woman discovering America...and herself. They've been cataloged in the Library of Congress. Ms. Tang has also adapted each novel into an original screenplay for a potential movie, and registered each one with the Writer's Guild of America.
