Career

Wong is the author of the graphic memoir Dear Scarlet: The Story of My Postpartum Depression. Dear Scarlet illustrates Wong's experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her first child. A review in The New York Times describes Wong's graphic memoir as a "fresh voice" in cartooning. Several reviews have noted the drawings help mothers cope with postpartum mental health.
