Wendy C. Ortiz is one of the most popular and richest Poet who was born on May 16, 1973 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Wendy C. Ortiz was born in Los Angeles, California in 1973. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College in 1995. She then resided in Olympia, Washington for eight years before moving back in Los Angeles where she presently lives. While in Olympia, Washington, Ortiz was a mudwrestler and library worker, editor and editor for 4th Street, a handbound literary magazine.
Ellie Robins at the Los Angeles Times said that the prose of Bruja “spare and at times mesmerizing” and addedthat “Ortiz celebrates [the] dark side of the human mind, nowhere more so than in Bruja…It’s testament to Ortiz’s courage as a memoirist that she’s willing to live for a while on this submarine plane, among the elements that dictate her fate — and to invite her readers along for the show.”
On January 19, 2020, Ortiz helped generate a prepublicity firestorm over a then unpublished novel by Kate Elizabeth Russell titled My Dark Vanessa when she tweeted “can’t wait until February when a white woman’s book of fiction that sounds very much like Excavation is lauded, stephen king’s stamp of approval is touted, etc,.” Although Ortiz is described as having acknowledged that she had not read Russell’s fictional work, she would write an essay in which she alleged the novel’s ‘eerie story similarities’ to her memoir. Excavation: A Memoir and My Dark Vanessa share themes of intergenerational sexual abuse by a teacher, yet the Associated Press has reported that ‘Reviewers who looked at both books saw no evidence of plagiarism.’ Nevertheless, in response to social media comments, and in the wake of the controversy over American Dirt, Oprah Winfrey, who had originally tapped My Dark Vanessa as a selection for her influential Book Club, rescinded the selection.
She was the co-founder as curator and host for the Rhapsodomancy Reading Series, which started in the Good Luck Bar in Los Angeles in 2004 and ran until 2015. Ortiz was a Writer-in-Residence at Hedgebrook in 2007 and 2009. In 2015, she developed the short play she wrote inspired by her article “Spell” in collaboration with and directed by Meera Menon for One Axe Productions. In the spring of 2018, she was a guest writer for creative nonfiction at the MFA Program at CalArts. Wendy is a psychotherapist working in private practice.
