My name is Lily Nguyen and I write under the pen name River A. Liann. I am a student at City College of New York studying English and Publishing.

My work often explores themes of change, nostalgia, and identity, drawing inspiration from the seasons, nature, and my Vietnamese heritage. I have a soft spot for melancholic storytelling, the kind that lingers in quiet, understated ways.

Outside of writing, I enjoy travelling to small towns and capturing moments through photography. When I’m not creating, you’ll probably find me watching a basketball game, at the gym, or lounging reading comics.
