WIHM 2022: An Interview With Editor Nicole M. Wolverton

In celebration of Women in Horror Month, we are continuing to highlight some of the amazing work that women have been doing compiling and editing magazines and anthologies in the horror industry. We’re continuing our Women Who Edit Interview series with Nicole M. Wolverton.

 

Could you introduce yourself, and tell us a little about you?

I’m Nicole M. Wolverton, a (mostly) horror novelist and Pushcart-nominated short story writer—and I also do a little bit of editing here and there. I was raised in the rural hinterlands of Pennsylvania (which I attribute to my interest in horror) and now live in the Philadelphia area, where my day job is mostly speechwriting. I’m also a part-time masters student, an elections official, and an assistant dragon boat coach.

My first novel, The Trajectory of Dreams, is an adult psychological thriller released by Bitingduck Press in 2013. Since then I’ve had more than two dozen short stories and almost a dozen essays and creative nonfiction pieces published in publications such as the Saturday Evening Post, Hungry Ghost, and the Nighty Night with Rabia Chaudry podcast and in anthologies from Ghost Orchid Press and Dark Ink Books, among others. 

Last year (2021) I had the distinct pleasure of being invited by the owner of Sliced Up Press to edit a horror anthology centered around menopause—it was an idea that I’d been kicking around, and Ben—the owner of the press—thought it would be a good idea. Turns out that it was! The quality of content that was submitted to what became Bodies Full of Burning was incredible, and I’m very proud of the final product.

Originally, I wrote romance and inspirational fiction, but I made the switch to horror in 2017. I love all things scary, especially B-camp movies and books with strong female protagonists. I also enjoy editing and helping fellow authors achieve their writing goals. I’ve been in publishing for ten years, and I have enjoyed every single second of it!

WIHM 2022: An Interview With Editor Angela Yuriko Smith

In celebration of Women in Horror Month, we are continuing to highlight some of the amazing work that women have been doing compiling and editing magazines and story collections in the horror industry. We’re continuing our Women Who Edit Interview series with Angela Yuriko Smith.

 

Could you introduce yourself, and tell us a little about you?

Sure, and thanks for having me here! Most of my life has been spent writing non-fiction for newspapers, online lifestyle and marketing. I moved into fiction in 2011 as the result of an argument at a writers conference. As a nonfiction writer I was offended to overhear a man declaring that nonfiction writers couldn’t do fiction because they had no imagination. I disagreed, my point being you had to be creative about what information you shared or you wind up with dull work no one will read. He disagreed that writing for a newspaper was just reciting facts, not creating worlds. I disagreed, he disagreed… we wound up in a yelling match in the hallway and were told we’d be kicked out of the conference if we didn’t calm down. We did, but that night I went home and started writing End of Mae to prove him wrong. It took me about 8 years to finish that novella but I give the victory to that loud, opinionated man. I think I proved I had an imagination, but he converted me to fiction in the process. Well played, sir.
