Personal life and education
Chu was born in Taiwan. He moved to the US and began learning English at age six. He read voraciously as a child and credits reading Year’s Best SF volumes as solidifying his love of short science fiction stories. The works of Ted Chiang made Chu realize it was possible to be a working author.
Chu attended the 2006 Viable Paradise workshop. And in 2010 was a graduate of the Clarion science fiction & fantasy workshop.
He has a PhD in computer engineering and works as a microprocessor architect by day. He is gay, a theme that he explores in his writing. Other common themes in Chu's work include family relationships, the limitations of the body, accepting yourself, and the power of food in human connections. Chu is a fan of the theatre.
Career
Chu published his first story in 2011. As of 2024, he has published over two dozen stories.
In 2014, Chu’s third published story, "The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere," at Tor.com went on to win the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.
Chu’s story "If You Find Yourself Speaking to God, Address God with the Informal You" won the 2022 Nebula award, the 2023 Ignyte award, and the 2023 Locus award for Best Novelette. The story was runner up for the 2023 Hugo award.
Chu’s stories have appeared on the Locus Recommended reading list four times.
In addition to his work as an author, Chu also reads for podcasts and translates novels and stories from Chinese into English. His interest in translation began after he acted as a beta reader for Ken Liu’s English translation of The Three Body Problem. Chu was offered his first translation job in 2013.
Chu’s debut novel is forthcoming.
