She received an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa, an M.P.A. from Harvard University, and a B.A. in East Asian Studies from Yale University. She has been a Wallace Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer in Fiction at Stanford University, an Alfred Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, and a Briggs-Copeland Lecturer of Creative Writing at Harvard University. Chang has been the recipient of fellowships and awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Rona Jaffe Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Her first book of fiction, Hunger: A Novella and Stories, won the PEN/Hemingway Prize and the Southern Review Book Award.

Her third book, the novel All Is Forgotten, Nothing Is Lost, will be published in fall 2010.
