Camille Gooderham Campbell (Managing Editor)
Camille Gooderham Campbell has been a part of EDF since it opened for submissions in 2007. Professionally, she provides e-book design and production services, edits fiction and non-fiction for select clients, and writes under a pen name. She has an Honours B.A. specializing in English Literature from the University of Toronto, where she was privileged to study creative writing with Professor J. Edward Chamberlin.
Camille’s taste in fiction is eclectic, with favourite authors ranging from Jane Austen to Jilly Cooper, Robert A. Heinlein to Anne McCaffrey, and Pauline Gedge to Jack Whyte. She reads all genres, with a particular interest in speculative and historical fiction, and also collects classic children’s literature.
She likes to read both really short stories and big thick novels, often at the same time.

Cameron Wooley (Slush Reader)
Cameron is a copywriter by trade and spends her working hours helping companies craft compelling content for their ads. Though she likes marketing quite a bit, her true passion lies in writing and reading short fiction. Big ideas in tiny packages excite her, and she’ll happily devour any story she can have with a warm cup of tea.
Cameron holds her Bachelor’s degree in music, and her stories have been published in The Weird Reader and Microfiction Monday Magazine. She lives in Florida with her (extremely patient) husband and their cat.

Gaius Coffey (Slush Reader)
Gaius contributed a selection of stories to EDF many years ago, before realising they were better as novels. He is waiting for the publishing industry at large to come to the same realisation. Though he reads widely, he has failed to find any clear pattern as to what he likes, so is open to most styles and genres. He has enjoyed books by Jilly Cooper, Dick Francis, Sarah J Maas, Julian May, Terry Pratchett, Susannah Clarke, Fredrik Bachman, Jonas Jonasson, Joy Fowler and many more.
