Long Bio: Award winning author, editor, and tie-in writer, Jennifer Brozek has spent over fourteen years doing what she loves most, working in interesting worlds with unique characters and creatures. Two of her works, Never Let Me Sleep (Permuted Press, 2015), and The Last Days of Salton Academy (Ragnarok Productions, 2016), were nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel while A Secret Guide to Fighting Elder Gods (Pulse Publishing, 2019) was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in an anthology. In 2015, Jennifer was nominated for a Hugo award for Best Short Form Editor. Also, in 2015, she was awarded a Scribe Award for The Nellus Academy Incident (Catalyst Game Lab, 2014). Her editing work has netted her an Australian Shadows Award for Grants Pass (Morrigan Books 2009). Jennifer’s short form work has appeared in Apex Magazine, Uncanny Magazine, and in anthologies set in the worlds of Valdemar, Elemental Masters, Shadowrun, V-Wars, Masters of Orion, and Predator. Jennifer is also the Creative Director of Apocalypse Ink Productions, and has written many RPG source and fiction material for Dragonlance, Savage Worlds, Rogue Games, Cortex, and Gut Shot Games. Jennifer’s first publications were short stories. Her first SFWA qualifying story was “Snipe Hunting” which appeared in Apex Digest 2010. Since then she’s had over 85 short stories published in publications such as Gama Trade Magazine, Uncany Magazine, Crossed Genres, and Blood Bound Books. She writes in many genres including horror, urban fantasy, and science fiction. Jennifer states, “I have so many stories to tell. I want to entertain and inspire. I want, someday, for someone to tell me that my writing changed their world for the better.” While writing takes up part of Jennifer’s daily life, editing also plays an important role in her career. Slush reading for Apex Magazine began her unique journey into assisting authors. After some time in the slush piles, she asked Jason Sizemore for the position of senior editor. Since that time, she has edited anthologies for DAW, Baen Books, Pulse Publishing, and Worldfire Press. Jennifer is also the creative director of Apocalypse Ink Productions and was the managing editor of Evil Girlfriend Media. Before she became an author and editor, Jennifer worked as a software QA engineer in a wide range of projects that included video games. She also co-chaired StarQuest ’95, one of the first Babylon 5 science fiction conventions. She’s played many types of RPG and is officially a 200-point GURPS character in the Casey & Andy supplement. This love of gaming led Jennifer to writing, editing, and developing many aspects of games for companies such as Rogue Games, Catalyst Game Labs, and White Wolf. Jennifer also uses that experience to write tie-in novels and stories for a variety of worlds such as Valdemar, BattleTech, Shadowrun, V-Wars, Masters of Orion, and Predator. When she isn’t writing, editing, or working on tie-in or RPG games, Jennifer also volunteers her time to various professional writer organizations. She is a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA), the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers (IAMTW), and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). From 2015-2017, Jennifer was elected SFWA Director-at-Large, where she helped bring several projects forward. Jennifer states she’s never been happier after leaving her high-paying tech job. She usually spends mornings working on writing projects and afternoons on editing. Unlike many authors, Jennifer works best with a deadline, but her cats interrupt her for breaks and playtime. Her next dream is to live by the ocean surrounded by her many bookshelves full of books, her cats, and her husband, Jeff.
