MATILDA BICKERS is a caffeinated Capricorn from the South End of Boston. She has lived in Portland for 9 years, landing there due to a shocking twist in her mother's midlife crisis. She misspent her youth trying foment revolution in Portland's strip clubs while enjoying the stripper lifestyle, and its accompanying free drugs, to the fullest. Now a semi-retired stripper/full time student, Matilda is writing a book about her experiences. Matilda is passionate about espresso, literature, and tiny dogs. She is very excited to be a RADAR reader.

MELISSA FEBOS is the author of the memoir WHIP SMART (St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books). Her writing has been featured in The Southeast Review, Redivider, The Rambler, Storyscape Journal, Bitch Magazine, The Huffington Post and Smut Magazine, among many others.

CHERYL KLEIN is the author of the novel Lilac Mines (Manic D Press) and The Commuters, a collection of connected stories, which won City Works Press' Ben Reitman Award. An alum of UCLA and CalArts, she works for the California office of Poets & Writers, Inc. She lives in Los Angeles, where she blogs about art, life and carbohydrates at breadandbread.blogspot.com.

CYD NOVA is an uppity transsexual pornographer writing about his life and times in the sex industry and faggothood in the queer bubble. He's been writing zines since his straight edge adolescence, the most recent series being TRAIN WRECK: on transition and hooking. Most of his officially published work comes in forms of self righteous letters to the editor, but he's also appeared in $PREAD, ProVision and Original Plumbing.
