We dive into her creation of the Indie Author Book Brawl, her vision for anonymous chapbook competitions, and her work organizing Books & Brews Author Con, one of the most anticipated indie horror events of the year.Tiffany opens up about the power of community over self-promotion, why cannibals and cults never get old, and how a single Facebook group became a launchpad for emerging horror voices.
