Our July feature is the fantastic, spectacular: Andrés N. Ordorica.
Andrés N. Ordorica is a Queer Latinx writer and educator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a writer, he aspires to create worlds filled with characters who are from neither here nor there (ni de aquí, ni de allá). His work has been published by Confluence Medway, The Acentos Review, 404 ink, The Colour of Madness, The Skinny and Bella Caledonia. His writing often addresses ideas of loss, queerness, mental health and navigating life in a liminal state. He has performed his work for audiences in the US, Ireland and the UK.
