Ashley Hong is an Editor at Crown Currency, where she focuses on nonfiction that transforms how we work, lead, and live. She is interested in books that fuel self-efficacy and principled living—from business books steeped in practical wisdom to personal development that helps ambitious readers find their way amid chaos. She is especially excited about projects written by authors of the global majority. Before joining Crown Currency, she was a literary agent at Gardner Literary, where she worked with authors Eli Harwood, Alexis Barber, Benjamin Cremer, and Ayana Lage. She was previously an editor at Convergent, where she acquired and edited the New York Times bestselling A Rhythm of Prayer by Sarah Bessey and This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley.
