Mark Schoneveld

I'm a writer based in Philadelphia. I write fiction, memoir, essays and criticism exploring place, identity, history, music and the strange ways people find one another.

My debut novel, The Weight of Lightning, follows a young Hmong-American man into Thailand and Laos in search of the father he never knew.

Currently I am seeking literary representation.
