Thrilled to announce the sale of my next project: UPROOTED, my first book of narrative nonfiction. I started #foraging during the early days of the pandemic, a practice that brings me much joy and continues to help me—and my family— find our way in chaotic times. Excited to work with the brilliant Sarah Ried at the legendary @tin_house @zandoprojects ✨ A million thanks to my amazing agent @margaretesb @folioliterary 🍄And I’m so grateful to early readers who provided crucial suggestions and advice. Special thanks to writer and #naturalist extraordinaire Jessica Carew Kraft @artistoutofresidence @whyweneedtobewild for her guidance. With Coyoteland coming out in May 2026, and Uprooted after that, it’s going to be…busy 🤯🌪️Grateful and excited for all that’s ahead! (Swipe to see a few favorite foraging finds!) #books #bookstagrammer #author

I started writing El Nido in the spring of 2021, exhilarated and terrified by its scope and ambition. Some days, I questioned if I could pull it off, but I kept going. I’m thrilled to be working with the brilliant @flatiron_books editors @cableeke and @blkgrlreading and am grateful for the early advocacy from the amazing @nadxinieto . Huge thanks, as always, to my wonderful agent @margaretesb , @folioliterary on our fourth book together! And I’m indebted to the astute critique partners who advised and guided me along the way. Excited to share this #novel with #booksellers, #librarians, and #readers who have generously supported and encouraged me over the years. ❤️✨💫 Swipe to see a muse and one of the stars of the #book!

Vanessa Hua’s novel “Coyoteland” captures the machinations of upmarket suburbia, where every suspicious neighbor is hiding a secret agenda and caught in a web of plot and counterplot. Read more by @garysinghsj about @mononoke97 and her latest release from @flatiron_books at the link in our IG stories or pick up this week’s print copy! 📖✨ Photo by Andria Lo 📸 #eastbaylove #eastbayexpress #eastbayauthors

Flashback to my @booksmithsf launches in 2022, 2018, 2016 (and to 2011, hugely pregnant, at my very first bookstore reading @zyzzyvamag release party.) Save the date for my book launch on Tuesday, May 12. And Saturday, May 16 at my beloved @orindabooks . Reserve a seat now! And I’m thrilled by this STARRED @publishersweekly review: “”Riveting...Hua’s spectacular character work offers complex and surprising views into the many players’ motivations. Readers will find much to love in this multi-layered page turner.” #coyoteland
