Description

In this episode, we sit down with Tiffany Koplin—curator, community builder, and indie horror champion—to explore the thriving world of self-published horror fiction.

From her roots at Half Price Books to her leadership of the 63,000-member Books of Horror community, Tiffany shares how a passion for the genre turned into a full-blown movement.

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. If you love horror fiction, indie publishing, or just rooting for passionate people doing big things—you’ll love this episode.
