Bre Stephens has 13 years of experience as a writer, publisher, educator, literary judge, editor, and writing coach. She is the Editor-in-Chief of The Dark Sire Literary Journal, the President of BSC Publishing Group, and a university professor of composition, technical writing, and creative writing. As a writer, she is highly influenced by Edgar Allan Poe and, therefore, specializes in gothic and horror short fiction; but as a publisher, editor, and writing coach, she reaches beyond the dark to represent a diversity of subgenres. Bre holds an MA in English and Creative Writing, an M.Ed. in ESL, and a BA in Art History. In her spare time, she loves attending Japanese festivals and learning more about world cultures.

"I’ve had a lot of contact with agents/editors and publishers. The professional ones, the ones who reply to emails, and the ones who send ‘kind’ rejections are few and far between. You are a part of them—a rare breed. And that is why I appreciate you so much." - Joanie Elian
"Bre Stephens took an active role in helping me prepare The Village for presentation. Working with her has begun a relationship that I hope will continue for many years to come." - David Crerand
