CharlotteWangwriter

Charlotte was admitted to Amherst College as a prospective English major, where she explored literature in many forms through the rich resources of Amherst’s distinguished English department. She dived into both critical and creative writing, while also taking cross-listed courses in education studies, American studies, legal studies, and theatre. Fluent in French, she also spent a year studying French literature in the original language. Across these studies, she became especially drawn to twentieth-century literature, with particular interests in time, memory, trauma, and the shaping of human consciousness — perhaps connected to her musician’s natural fascination with time.

Charlotte writes extensively in both English and Chinese, with occasional work and adaptation in French. Her writing spans many creative genres, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama, as well as academic essays, publication contributions, and critical literary analysis. Though she later turned her primary professional commitment toward music, she continued her deep involvement in literature. At Amherst, she completed the English major with dedication and passion and wrote an honors thesis that received the only summa recommendation among creative English theses in her year.

Although Charlotte is not currently pursuing a career in literature or publication, she considers writing an essential part of her identity. She may one day return to a larger literary project, but for now, writing remains woven into her daily life: a way of thinking, remembering, imagining, and understanding the world. She writes every day, and she will never stop writing.
