Heavily inspired by the mixture of his Korean and American backgrounds and traditions, Brian Papenberg writes stories as a way to share about his community and connect with others. His fiction centers around the complexities of identity, community, belonging, and the internal conflicts that shape one's interaction with the human condition.
Brian is currently writing his first novel while drafting ideas for future works to follow. When not writing, he is either planning his next travel adventure or searching for the perfect iced Americano.
