Artemis Phoenix Desertsong (she/her/they/them) is the sole owner and operator of The Phoenix Desertsong website. At first, it was intended to house many articles, creative writing pieces, essays, and photography she’s created and collected over the decades. Since late 2023, Amelia has rededicated herself to her passion for music.
Artemis’s life’s goal is writing words while spreading love and kindness. Since she was four years old, Artie has been busy at work creating fantastic worlds full of zany characters and epic situations. While many of her early works consist of silly mash-ups of her favorite books and cartoons of the time, they laid important groundwork for her writing today. She has several fiction projects in the works, all of which have a musical element to them.
During her college years, Artemis worked part-time in digital marketing. She later parlayed this work experience into a full-time position as a marketing assistant, starting in 2008. There she developed her skills in professional article writing, search engine optimization (SEO), social media management, and building both HTML and WordPress websites. In 2013, she decided to become self-employed as a freelance writer, SEO Specialist, and social media manager. Through mid-2020, Artemis managed multiple blogs, numerous social media channels, and several company websites for a wide variety of clients.
In July 2020, Amelia Desertsong met Emily Slatin, master photographer and creative extraordinaire. They have since become partners both professionally and personally. She continues to leverage her online marketing expertise with her own personal website, The Phoenix Desertsong, and public relations for her partner’s website RescueGirl557.
Artemis lives in Vermont with her wife Emily, who collects trains, while Amelia collects CDs, vinyl records, and music-related merch, plus lots of dust on her bloated writing archives. Artie is an extreme nerd, Pokemon master, audiophile, photophile, voracious reader, and a rambling soul.
