Peter W. Fong

Conservationist and adventurer Peter W. Fong has a hard time keeping still. He's worked as an artist-in-the-schools in Montana, a travel guidebook writer in China, and a flyfishing guide in Mongolia. In 2018, he led an international team of scientists on a thousand-mile expedition to Russia's Lake Baikal.

His stories and photographs have appeared in The FlyFish Journal, High Country News, the New York Times, and many other publications. Over the past twenty years, he and his family have lived in Pray, Montana; Woodstock, Vermont; Tokyo, Japan; Shanghai, China; Tangier, Morocco; and the Caribbean island of Aruba. He and his wife now reside with a tortoiseshell cat on the sunny island of Madeira.

Peter earned an A.B. from Harvard College and an M.F.A. from the University of Montana. He won the 25th Anniversary Fiction Prize from Soundings East magazine and took second place in the 2005 Raymond Carver Short Story Contest. He is also the recipient of an individual artist's fellowship from the Montana Arts Council and a former Moran artist-in-residence at Yellowstone National Park.
