Hi. I’m Jeff. Welcome.
I wear several hats: writer, reporter, pretend farmer, preacher, teacher.
Writing & Journalism
“The stories [Chu] relates are intriguing… Revealing.” — Kirkus Reviews
My next book, Good Soil, will be published under Penguin Random House’s Convergent imprint in March 2025.
Speaking & Teaching
Whether it’s an auditorium full of journalism students or three old ladies in Bible study, I love exploring storytelling. I’ve lectured at Ivy League universities and preached in tiny country churches. Listen to some of my talks, and then get in touch with me via my contact page.
Projects
I write a weekly newsletter called Notes of a Make-Believe Farmer.
