Melissa R. Mendelson has been writing short stories and poetry since high school. Her focus has been primarily horror and dystopian, but she also makes room for science-fiction. She has a particular interest in identity, who we really are especially in the face of high stakes, unspeakable evils. With events in 2019/2020 when she was faced with a crisis of fertility and motherhood along with the pandemic, she created a prose poetry collection, This Will Remain With Us and a short story collection, Stories Written On Covid Walls, which were both published by Wild Ink Publishing.
