About Us


Accent Accent was founded in 2018 New York by  Na Zhong and Jiaoyang Li. Initially a writing community for diaspora writers working in English, it has blossomed into an Academy offering creative writing classes and consultations, a Bookstore carrying multilingual literary and art books, a bilingual Publishing House discovering original, imaginative, and authentic voices, and an Art Gallery with a focus on multidisciplinary art.


All our projects are tied together by one mission: to connect and empower marginalized and diasporic creatives, to build a space for stereotype-defying, boundary-pushing works.
