Basic Info| Name: | Stephanie Campisi |
|---|---|
| Location: | Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |
| Website: | StephanieCampisi.com |
BioStephanie Campisi was born in the eighties, is unapologetically a child of the nineties, and feels vaguely anachronistic in the noughties. Home is in the inner east of Melbourne, Australia, in a small flat where she spends less time than she probably should. A recent graduate of the University of Melbourne, she now works as a publishing editor for a large company and is inordinately proud of not yet having flipped a burger of any description. She spends far too much time mulling over apostrophes and syntactic ambiguities. When not indentured within such admittedly self-imposed nerddom, her free time is spent rather unevenly between her much-loved book collection, Melbourne’s bars, and, occasionally, the odd cafe, where she masquerades as a writer of sorts whilst staring pensively out of a window. Her work has appeared, or is slated to appear, in magazines such as Fantasy Magazine, FarThing, and Shimmer, and anthologies including Polyphony 7 through Wheatland Press and Paper Cities through Senses Five Press. She is currently working on her second novel whilst frequently refreshing her inbox for news of her first. You can find her online at www.stephaniecampisi.com

Novels:Downtown: Complete at 95,000 words
People are vanishing in Venice-like Skendgrot, and Vittoria Goritz, antiquities dealer and solipsist, is the prime suspect. Yet Vitti is far from the sole culprit behind the strange disappearances. The city’s militia have been quietly purging the city’s undesirables, and the effects of this are reaching critical mass: the spaces left by the vanished criminals and ne’er-do-wells are being filled by an unstoppable flood of the hazy, semi-corporeal people nicknamed the inchoate. But despite the warnings of the city’s esotericists and natural philosophers, the Mils are planning a mass vanishing, with a disastrous aftermath only Vitti can remedy–if she finally acknowledges her ability.
