Welcome to my first interview episode!
Phoenix Mendoza lives in the woods with her wife where she raises pigeons, buries roadkill, and writes. An unashamed enthusiast of the carnal, compostable, and corporeal, she is wholly dedicated to finding and luxuriating in the junction where beauty and disgust meet to rot together. She writes horror like erotica and erotica like horror. SALIVATION is her debut anthology.
Phoenix Mendoza also teaches a unique writing class focused not on technical mastery, but on creation without shame. She seeks to help writers find their truest and most honest voices. It’s a selfish thing— in this age of bland commodification and censorship, she wishes there were more fearless and fanged books to read, especially those written by women and lesbians about women and lesbians for women and lesbians, (though you do not have to be a woman or a lesbian to attend BLOOD/INK/BONE, her eight-month transformative writing course).
