Joanna Phoenix

Joanna Phoenix writes historical fiction with a fantastical twist for young adults and is represented by Sarah Stephens at Red Fox Literary. Each day she stands amazed by the power of story to reach into hearts and illuminate new facets of the universe. She has a small obsession with plot structure and the enneagram. (Okay fine, maybe not so small. She analyzes everything she reads and watches, which makes her fun in a book club but miserable to watch a movie with.) She lives in Berkeley, California with her husband and two little girls who keep her very silly. Visit Joanna at www.joannaphoenix.com
