Shantell Powell

Shantell Powell is a swamp hag and elder goth raised on the land and off the grid all over Canada. She’s a graduate of the Writers’ Studio at Simon Fraser University, the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the LET(s) Lead programme at Yale University, the McCormack Writing Center (formerly Tin House), and the LGBTQ+ Novel Immersive at GrubStreet. A Brave New Weird winner, Pushcart/Best of the Net/Journey/Rhysling nominee, and Aurora finalist, her writing appears in Augur Magazine, The Deadlands, The Malahat Review, Nightmare, and dozens more magazines and anthologies. When she’s not making things, she wrangles chinchillas and gets filthy in the woods. You can find her writing blog at shanmonster dot dreamwidth dot org
