About Our Host
Daphne (she/her) is an intuitive editor who has her finger on the pulse of what gets a reader’s heart pumping. A lover of both horror and romance, Daphne has a unique command of how to pull a reader in close and play on their emotions. Her degree in psychology and years of working as a slush reader for Horror Addicts have given her an exceptional foundation on developing the human elements of storytelling and craft in her editing. She excels at molding dramatic scenes to the perfect level of spice, detail, and emotional vulnerability for your ideal reader.
In her spare time, Daphne writes horror with a focus on the lived experiences of women and scifi/romance with themes of toppling the patriarchy. You can find her work at On the Premises and in anthologies such as Bigfoot Country and Dark Divinations.
If you want to make your reader shiver with anticipation in your Erotica, Romance, Horror, Paranormal Mystery, or other visceral genres, Daphne is the editor for you.
